Friends and Feelings

[Bunx]

FRIENDS

"Do you ever develop feelings 
for your friends?"

Co-Worker asked casually,
folding up bags of coffee
at a productive pace.

Being a bi man, it's not
too tough to avoid
binaries within friends.

"Yeah, it's funny you mention it
I've...... 
been feeling a little heart break since
my best friend

(coworker heard her name
an immeasurable amount since 
my friend moved back.)

moved back home
to spend time traveling."


FEELINGS

Wearing feelings
like handmade beanies
she made me
for watching her black cat:
The King of Shadows.

Folks compliment every hat

"Thanks,
my best friend made it."

These handmade gifts
became relics of a time
gone.

Her old apartment was
blocks away from
my trailer:
"The Liberty".

A reminder,
love is not always a thing
felt after a kiss,

or under the sheets 
of a room
hardly been in.

When she saw
crying on her last night

She hugged me twice.
Leaving....laughing....loving me
until we meet again.
