To the familiar face at Ruby Tuesday's

So familiar. You're like the half of heart I lost.
Familiar hair, and eyes. (Do they shine so when I'm gone?)
Your shoulders slope adorably in familiar.
And I've all familiar affections: empathy, hand towards hip.

You are thinner. (Did you forget food away in unfamiliar?
or do you not eat for anothers?) I cannot, so.
We commiserate different familiar: new
common pain and common uncommon experiences.

Later, we sit over a chasm, looking down on rocks
we've crossed, in a new yet so familiar woods.
Smooth together between familiar questions.

I smile, watching the face that jumped with you from crag to crag.
Most familiar face whose imprint I crave upon my chest.
Is familiar one to family? Or is familiar just to similar?
