Home of Pie

Dear longest friend
I love you.
and when I'm with
someone else
I'm thinking of you.

After all these years
I thought I'd moved on
but all it took
was one sidelong look
and I've fallen for you again.

Now as I pack my things
these tears fall from me
as I think of leaving
you behind.

I would cross any river
leap the mountain rifts
if you would promise me
this one precious gift.

Dear longest friend
I love you.
and when I'm with
someone else
I'm thinking of you.

Won't you stay with me
and promise all the things
I'd do for you
at the sound of your voice?

I've never had the choice
to move on
for as long as I remember
you were my only love song.

And so I write you these words
and pray you hold them true
Because I've waited a lifetime
to love you.
