The One
You were the one
Who made me laugh
With a two word voicemail.
You are the one
Asking all the wrong questions
At exactly the right times.
You'll always be the one
Who provided the comfiest place
In a quiet room.
For now, you are that one.
Who knows if you are my one.
That story hasn't even begun.
I was the one
Who tried to find the gift
You didn't know you wanted.
I am the one
Poking and prodding until
I find your smile's hiding place.
I'll always be the one
Who helped you discover
How Jack fell down the hill.
He and she are not "they".
You and I are not "we" today.
But always friends, come what may.

I dug this. You can tell that the speaker is simultaneously acknowledging that there's nothing there between these two and yet open to the prospect of it. With most people, I find, it's either or. I'm starting to notice a pattern in your pieces, where you seem apt at capturing little life moments in poetry and that's very difficult to do, in my opinion.

Happy New Year my poetic friend!
