I keep my mouth

Shut so tight

I forget how to say

The words that really mean so much

To you and Ayame

My best friends

My first loves

The only ones I could ever trust

Or touch

My words disguise my fear

For you at the end

I love you

Both of you

To no end will that come

There will never be another

Who'll keep me happy

The way you two have

I am without words to describe how

You're carefree calmness

Has kept me from losing myself

Deep in this endless winter

I thrive

Weakly

But you push through the coldness

And pull me out of the ice by the nape of my neck

Like you were raised to do

You take me home

Take me back

To where I'm familiar

You lick me warm and dry me off

With patience

Listen to my story

With open arms

So strong and loyal

You hold me until I've come to my senses

Or regained my (burial) ground

At this point

You make me smile or roll my eyes

Which is a laugh

But I've forgotten how to make that reaction

To your sexual implications

Sometimes barely legal

And your are the one

Perfect for me in every way

And I will love you forever

My kind Shigure

From the day we met

You annoyed me

Completely and utterly

Overdramatic and obnoxiously self-centered

But when you look at me

And smile at me

Your touch is selfless

And you become

The most kind and gentle of all

Your calmness can be frightening, but you

Always seem to care

Even when

I tell you not to worry

You do it

Enough to

Keep me from getting even more

Hurt than I was

You're loud and lively

And as lovely as any woman

My devoted Ayame

Never will anything

Come between

Us

I will withstand

A thousand sickly fists

To keep you

Safe

Forever

I love you, my friends

More than lovers do
