Across the table
Tears spung in her pale blues
Words crowded my throat
We’re so alike
She mulled, our makeup
Got you at “I feel”
She was falling hard
His blunt demeanor, playful jabs
She unbolted the locks
I don’t care much
She sniffled, knees to her heart
I know who I am
My new friend reached over
I love you she said simply
You are wonderful
