Feelings for a Friend

No, you weren't mistaken.

The glances were pleas,
And you just couldn't glance back.
Every laugh I choked on?
I suffered for you.

You weren't mistaken.

I sat through the hours,
Hoping to tell you
Of all the things that I felt,
And how badly you should know.

It might seem crazy.

But I died each time
You chose to speak to me.
Your eyes were unforgiving,
But somehow held love.

You were my friend.

But the courage I built,
It all went to waste.
The days I spent dreaming?
They might as well have been blank.

And I liked you, a lot.

But now I miss the scenes you stole.
(This heart was one of them)
And my days are incomplete,
When I see you with her.

Just friends?
I can take that.
We're better off this way.
