Just Friends

JUST FRIENDS

No ties, no commitment, no romance
Just friends
I thought thats what I wanted
Being single was my trend
My intentions weren't for courtship
I just wanted a comrade, nothing more
It was never planned for you to become someone I'd adore
Just friends
I was content with that
No need to start a union
I was oblivious to the fact
That our bond would cause me such confusion
You expressed your feelings so soon
At a point when our emotions weren't aligned
You revealed how much you cared for me
I was the only one you'd hope to find
In my state of bewilderment
You came to grasp with something realistic
I'm not really the one for you
And now the thought is even simplistic
Just friends
Yes, thats more practical
We can still share a common connection
But there's just one problem with that
Now I'm longing to share your affection
Although I try to keep it inside
I want much more than to be just friends
It hurts to know now your feelings have faded
Now the thought of it never being an "us" makes me cringe
I blame myself for not accepting you
For not recognizing my fondness ahead of time
Now you no longer feel the way I do
Thats the price I pay for being blind
Just friends
Seems so innocent
But it causes me such heartache
The pain I feel knowing I missed out
Causes me to regret that mistake
Knowing that you're mind has changed
Has been difficult for me to perceive
I'm consumed with intense feelings for you
With no chance to gain what I really desire to achieve
Just friends
No ties , no commitment, no romance
I'm trying to comply
But first please hear my words as I cite to you
You are more than just a friend in my eyes
