#8: Today

Today

Today, you shared something with me.
I can effectively say we’re friends –
And though we have never hugged or held hands
I know that in a way you trust me.

Today, I felt that we were friends
For the first time,
No longer an outsider
And no longer a stranger.

Today, I could relate to you
Having things said behind your back hurts
Trust me on this, believe me,
Because I have suffered this many times

Today, I was the closest to you
Emotionally and physically
Than ever before, and even this
Filled my heart with joy.

Slowly, we are becoming friends,
And today was a great leap,
Today, this was not attraction
This was friendship.

Today, my mental attraction towards you
Overpowered my physical attraction to you
I learned, today, that even someone of such social hierarchy
Suffers what I do, as well.

Today, I discovered a similarity,
Today, I was reminded of a masculine custom,
Today, we were truly friends,
And today, I put childhood behind me

Today, I won a great victory
Over my own adolescence,
For God, and for you,
And put your outside beauty in the back of my head

Today, we were friends.

overall, i really like the theme. the only advice i would give you to be work on some of the wording. i don't think it flowed as well as you would have liked. ex:i would avoid using the words "in the loop"
lol

other than that stuff i thought it was pretty amzing
