fall

fall in love with your best friend,
fall in love with the one who doesn’t call you baby but rather by your first name because he actually likes your name,
fall in love with the way your name sounds as he says it, and don’t take that heavenly sound for granted,
fall in love with your best friend the one who holds your hand as you undress your soul, telling him your story from branch to root and don’t regret any second of the experience,
fall in love with your best friend the one your thoughts drift to as you sleep, as you eat, as you walk aimlessly, and let your heart get carried away in thoughts of him for even if they turn out to be only dreams they are still fantastic,
fall in love with your best friend the one whose musical playlist matches your own, even if you never tell him, even if his is slightly better, but as long as your playlists vibe well then all is well,
fall in love with your best friend the one who wants the best for you, the one who wants to see the sadness leave your eyes, leave your heart, the one who makes you cry just so that the old chains may be broken, and never regret those tears,
fall in love with your best friend, the one that you can flirt and tease endlessly, sending him booty pics just to make his day, sending him happy thoughts because you can and he does the same,
fall in love with him, with your best friend, with the one who wants to read you, the one that actually does read you,
no matter the outcome….
just fall in love with your best friend and hope he does the same…
