best friend

your shoulders weren't those that i used to cry on.
you've grown taller now,
and my head rests perfectly by your neck,
yours leaning protectively atop my own.

your arms are bigger now, your hair longer,
falling slightly into your face

you've changed colognes, changed majors, changed lives
...grown up

but your eyes are still the same, laughing and serious
all at once, knowing every bit of me with just one look

when you lean down, and your lips are hovering
millimeters from my own, i allow myself to wonder
fanatasize

but i turn away, because even though we're both drunk
i love you too much

and falling would just fuck our friendship up
