The Poem For My Friends

There wouldn’t be anyone else I’d go to a party with.

Drink with.

Have dinner at Peirce with.

Spend a night down at the train with.

Ice cream at the bookstore with.

Study at midnight in the library with.

Dance with.

Laugh with.

Smile with.

Have the wind tangled in my hair with.

Feel the chill of summer air on my skin with.

Close my eyes and listen to guitars

and feel the hum of the stars in the sky with.

There wouldn’t be anyone else I’d be my true self around with

other than you.
