Into the stillness of a dream  
The day had been what it'd never been  
  
Wide swing, warm coffee, chilly day;  
Words flowed from fingers, come what may  
  
When up I glanced, to a tattered blue  
And a stylish shirt; it was only you  
  
They say that clothes can make the man  
Though I'd say you made those jeans all you can!  
  
And I'd say, instead, that clothes can portray  
The heart of a man and, perhaps, his way  
  
For, when you peered from behind the frame  
And spoke of what sets your mind aflame  
  
I knew we'd be friends forever-more  
Even if we knew not what life had in store  
  
Some star-crossed loves are but passing friends  
Who yet share a connection that never ends  
  
And you, who shares so much of his eyes' deep sight  
Shall have coffee, deep chats with me one long night  
  
Words and life may have limits, true  
But star-crossed friendships never do
