it was the guarded gaze of a celebrity though we had been friends for months
delightful moments had been turned into cautious tales of woe and you distanced
yourself from some imagined love song.
how many shoulders do i have to shake before my words and actions
which are one in this case
are taken for truths.
how many knock-you-over-the-head hints do i have to pass
before you remember you were the one
who laughed at the jokes and pursued the
kindredness of spirits
how many friendships end before they begin
how many moments are lost to confusion
how many days does it take to make you see
how many words are hard to hear
and how many songs can make you free
remember this moment. the one before alienation-
the one before our truths are irrevocably severed
from one another
remember this moment. when we love to love each other.
