Nate Pez Poem by Zooey Lichty

Nate Pez,
There are so many things I want to
tell
You
You are the first person I haven’t
lied
To
The first person I’ve been completely…
Open with
You are the first person I haven’t had to wait
A week
two weeks
A month
two months
A year
two years
To tell you that I like you
Or
That I’m even remotely
interested
in
You

You’re the first person I’ve talked that much to in awhile,
right
Now
You’re my bestest friend
right
Now
You’re my best friend
right
Now
You’re my only friend

…And…
We haven’t even known each other for 24hrs,
actually
not even 12

I can be almost completely myself when I talk to you
You’re the person I want to talk to right now
…and…
I
can’t
Cause if I tell you all this…
You’ll probably
Run
A
Way

...And…
You’re already half way
Across
The
Country
