I want to be here for you.
I want to talk to you when it’s dark
And everyone else is tucked in a bed.
I want you to stop by, just because.
I’ve connected more with you in our silence
Than with so many others and our conversations.
I feel this deep need to . . .
run jump play skip dance laugh cry see
With you.
But I don’t want to hurt you.
Let’s be friends forever;
We won’t reveal any secret feelings.
We won’t have secret feelings.
. . . or if we do, they’ll stay secret.
We can make history, me and you,
By being the first real friendship
Between a man and a woman.
Between a girl and a boy.
But since we are being open, I’ve got to confess
That maybe I want you as a replacement.
Maybe I just always need a friend like that
To feel like myself . . .
