(This one is about a guy I've known forever, since 5th grade, who I am trying to figure the whole friends thing out with, only confusing on my end, I'm sure. Of course, the past is more complicated, but I'll tell that tale later.)----
I have to trust the Flow
There can be no force of the hand
I wouldn't respect myself anymore
if I acted like a fool
How does one navigate this,
find time to speak as friends do?
There's a whole new set of rules for me,
and I'd like to get a clue
Can I chatter with enthusiasm,
let my voice show I'm glad to be here?
When my eyes light up, is that way too much,
an excess of friendly cheer?
I don't do this guy-friend thing well,
other trial runs were epic fails,
I care too much, or send mixed signals,
and mutual comfort goes up in flames
Resolving to make this one different,
stay myself with rational restraint
I'd love nothing more than to relax and enjoy
a kindred soul who's spanned the years
