B&W

it's never as it appears
the thing we have here

black and white, thats what they see
but trust me, its much more than what you believe

mixed together, where two become one
past the point of understanding for none.

black and white, they turn to grey
shades and shades of things that stray

whether one
or five
or fifty
(though we won't go there)
it's ever present
always there

lovers while we sleep
friends to who we meet

nuzzles in the dark
off hand brushes that cause a spark

laughter and fun and an occasional slip
a person like no other in this friendship

and these shades can become confusing, i must admit
but it is the best thing i will ever get
