You say you want to just be friends...

You say you want to just be friends,
But do you mean goodbye?
Is that the easy way to end
The wish without the why?
You owe me nothing, as I owe
You equally, and yet
There's something in the undertow
I cannot just forget.
There's something lovely like a song
That's waiting to be heard,
Or like the feelings that belong
To some unspoken word.
And so with you I cannot simply
Smile and stay aloof.
I take the risk of asking frankly
For the untold truth....
