"friends"

"friends"

Maybe sometimes in life you get that ache inside you,

And maybe you want to reach out to someone, something,

That will fill that hole inside your being and make your life

Complete, make your life like a perfect painting-still, bright,

And always, always, unchangeable.

Because we'll all looking for that someone-The One

Who will make you get up in the morning and roll you

Out of bed, make you a nice cup of coffee that will set your

Sleepy nerves aflame… the One that you can laugh with,

And go to bed with, and ultimately marry and live with,

And your life will be-like I said-Perfect.

There are many meanings of the word "perfect".

Perfection is a fierce lover, it clings onto you,

And you cling onto it, because once you have kissed

Perfection, your life will never be the same again. Every

Mundane action that could be improved makes you scream

With frustration, the sins of the world make your eyes tear,

Every normal thing that you did before that could have been

Perfected, itches at your skin like crawling ants.

Which is why no one should ever taste the lips of Perfection,

Or feel the brush of its skin against you,

But maybe, you think, with

Perfection inside of you, glowing like a fierce fire,

Maybe that girl who likes you might say that you and she

Are more than just friends.
