“I want to be the friend you fall hopelessly in love with. The one you take into your arms and into your bed and into the private world you keep trapped in your head. I want to be that kind of friend. The one who will memorize the things you say as well as the shape of your lips when you say them. I want to know every curve, every freckle, every shiver of your body…” – Tahereh Mafi
Shivers and curves
Was all she had
There wasn’t any one
Memorizing her words
Or the shape of her bright red lips
When she spoke
So she wrote instead
Poetry
Short stories
Mysterious renderings
Glimpses into the private world of her mind
That no-one really knew
She found that her words
somehow managed
To make her feel
As if she was the friend
Hopelessly loved
For every single shiver and curves
