Just Friends
By Meri
"Hey, you know what?"
No, no, don't you say it…
Looking at you, listening to your words
Thinking about how great you are
How wonderful it is to know you
To have you as a friend.
Bestest bud,
One I can tell and keep secrets for,
One I can share inside jokes with
One I can rant and vent and seek comfort with
It's you.
Only…
You're just my friend.
But I want…
Don't think about it.
It'll go away if you just don't think about it.
But maybe I don't want it to go away.
"What?"
"I love you, man."
"You're not getting my bud light."
"Ah well. See you later!"
"Bye!"
Don't think about it.
Just don't…
But I can't stop.
Wanting you but not being able to do anything about it.
Not even being able to talk about it.
Because of who you are
And who she is
And who I am.
Can't have you.
Don't want to hurt her.
Don't want to hurt me.
Don't want to hurt you.
But…
He's your friend, don't let him go.
If I just… keep it buried
Deep deep down,
Then everything will be good
I can keep it down.
I can hide what I feel.
And we can just be friends.
Because that's what I want.
Really.
Just my friend.
