Here's to You and I

The biggest grin sits on your face
As a different one twists mine,
our guts' aching,
shuddering with laughter.
Seeing the smiles,
hearing your laugh,
shows me that all is as it should be.
The warmth that radiates from you
as you talk about her
brushes me and earns a giggle.

It's been a winding path we've walked,
you and I.
From never speaking,
to dancing,
to partners;
now friends.
Maybe we could have been
just that little bit more than you and I -
maybe,
once,
there could have been an 'us'.
But I like you and I now,
you and I as friends,
you and I on your couch,
sipping hot chocolate,
as you talk about the girl you met in LA
and I just smile;
the happiest I've been
in literal years.
