A Crack in the Ice
You
Glances- never returned
on buses
brown hair, cute nose
eyes I idolize
just like
your sister's
Hockey player
I dream and see
your reflection in ice-
ice I wish we shared
your sweaty palm,
I wish was in mine
Mysterious
popular,
yet friend to all
always reminding
your sister
you love her more
Your Sister
Conversations
on busses
and couches, too
funny stories
sometimes they include you
Swimmer
radiant fish
extroverted and bright
I'm lucky we share
the same
salty pond
Free,
yet caged up in plans
lazy,
yet filled up with grit
are you
a companion picture?
Me
How could
it work
when ice melts;
when she's so dear
to both you
and I?
How could
the ice
we all skate on,
each in our own rink,
not crack and leave
lonesome me all alone?
I'll trail along
behind
forever
the slowest
She'll slow down for me.
You'll keep on skating.

I wrote this after realizing that I'd rather keep my friendship with a friend than risk it for the dangerousness of a crush on her brother.
