My friend wants you to know they like you

They love the cadence of your voice like calm rain

My friend adores the way you act calm all the time

He feels so safe with him



They love when I tell them how you care

You wrap your loved ones into a little bowed present

You keep them in a corner, beloved decoration

You brush off the dust and ensure it's kept safe till it was time to let it go



They burn up in their mind wondering how you could be so perfect

They drown in their insecurities wondering how they could ever attain you with that form of theirs

And you go on without knowing

As I push them to you



I love my friend's smile in their voice

I love when they go on about you

I love how right they are

I love how they know perfection



There is more they want to say

You're the kind of guy people love

You're the moonshine pale with gentleness

You're the stranger we'd write to



My friend adores you

More than you will know

But you don't want anything anymore

Youve been too hurt


We want to pick you up 

Shroud you in our darkness

Wipe off your hidden tears

Reciprocate your goodness



We haven't spoken in a while

But you're the only one who holds me up

When my mother cusses me out,

you tell me unknowingly "have a great day, don't let anyone annoy you."


My friend likes you 

My friend has good taste

My friend deserves you

I hope my friend gets you
