You raised one brow,
I knew the line,
didn't say it
But we timed it fine,
in every room you find the fun
And somehow I'm the echo one
You nudge my side, I fake a groan
But you already claim the tone
No one else gets what you just meant
But I've been fluent since we met
And you laugh first and I follow
Even when the joke is hollow Some things don't need to be planned
Like how I always understand We speak in looks and that's enough
You laugh first,
that's our stuff I laugh second,
but feel it more
A rhythm we don't keep score
Inside jokes are lifelong maps
Even in silence we still speak With raised brows and knowing cheek
You crack a smile,
I know my cue The punchline only works with two
You start the spark,
I light the rest Some friendships only show their best
You laugh first,
then I follow Filling up the empty hollow
Nothing for us,
just who we are Two small sparks beneath one star
