Inch by Inch

You made me sleep with a smile on my face
With a single text.

It was awesome,
seeing you the next morning
Hands on your waist
waiting for me
with a huge grin saying
"I got here first".

If only I woke up everyday to that.

Today I tested our friendship.
There was no malice in it.
No longing glances or
misleading eyes.
But there was a frequent mention of my name
from your lips
Lots of conversations in between
Sitting beside me or walking beside me
And me wishing you were there in my team
When the night ends, how you placed
a cookie in my hand
and offered me chocolates
And how I stared at you when I said goodbye
Knowing that it was what I was saying goodbye for
And how you peeked to our room
Hoping it was a glance of me you are trying to catch.

I want you beside me all the time
All
the
time.

I wished this summer would never end
Where you would go back to school,
to your girlfriend
and I'll be left alone in an uncertain world
And I would miss all the times we stayed
and all the times we talked.

I wish you would seal this friendship
with a vow of commitment.
