Differently

Let's put our heads together,
think about this –
what are we doing?

Yesterday we had fun,
we worked together,
played together,
we were buddies,
best friends.

And now,
overnight, it seems,
we see each other

differently

we miss each other
when our eyes don't meet,
we tingle at a touch,
warm at a smile,

and oh god . . .
what a hug does to us.


And yeah ,
you play with mine,
I'll play with yours . . .
give me Barbie,
you take . . .

G.I. Joe.

poor ken!  J/K  I can relate to that tiniest of shifts in perceptions/emotions around one certain person.  You display it perfectly, James... and oh, those hugs, indeed.

This reads to "differently" equals good, from the very familiar feelings and *more that you hold here.

Element's Blessings to you- that *more...just gets better and better without pause

This is warming J, enjoyed
