locutions [poetry]

p r i v i l e d g e

Most girls are dying to talk to the person they like, but not even a glance is given. However, with you,
it's different.

We started off as seatmates as it launched into friends,
jokes and messages we somehow sent.

We had arguments here and there,
but what always catched me offguard was your stare. It had an unreadable message being portrayed. I brushed it off and looked forward to another day.

You told me stories about your home,
how your father got mad when you didn't pick up your phone. You told me your dreams and all your curiousities, never did you once poke at my insecurities.

Often times you tell me what's happening in your life. Somehow we'd talk throught the night.

You cursed at others while you softly talked to me, they wondered what's happening between you and me. They started teasing; saying we'll end up together. We always deny but secretly I was wishing it would come true.

Cause you know how much I like you,
Despite my confession and my feelings. It never got in between our friendship. It was never awkward nor was it weird.

Maybe that's why until now I am falling. Deeper than I should. I yearn to hear your voice and feel your presence beside me.
