I want my best friend

I want his warmth and broad shoulders, 
I’ve cried on them so many times
but tonight I don’t reach out to him
asking to dry my eyes.

I want his bellied laugh,
and the gentle way he breathes
I want his arms around me
as he helps me drift to sleep

I want his playful comments, 
cause they’re funny and they’re kind
I want to hear him talk for hours,
to help relax my mind.

I want to eat too many cookies
have some hot chocolate or some tea
I want to build a pillow fort 
and watch some dumb movie

I’m not looking for romance, 
I don’t want kisses just to spend
a tired night of cuddles
with my closest, dearest friend
