Don't Speak

Since the day our eyes met,
I knew it was so.
You don't have to speak,
To say, "Friend, hello".

I met your sudden gaze
With an anxious smile.
The other girls told me,
You were in denial.

No friends to be found,
Lost in the days,
Of your witty speech
And wise ways.

You discovered my self,
With some dismay.
You thought me quite strange,
But we were okay.

You don't have to shout
Because I'm a freak
We both know my dialogue:
"Friend, don't speak."
