Favorites

Let's play a game,
And call it
Favorites.
The one where,
We pretend to be inquisitive.
But truly what we want is,
To choose for one another.

Let's play a game,
And call it
Teen 'Agers'.
The one where,
We are high on life
          And
We say a 'forever yes' to each other.
 
Let's play a game,
And call it
Adulting.
The one where,
We hide the candor,
Saying a 'Yes' to self
And a definite 'No' to one another.

Let's play a game,
And call it
Life.
The one where,
You and I cast,
As each other's favorites
And remain so
For many lifetimes together.
