i wasn't at least surprised
by your callous gaze on me
another name, another notch
on the bedposts where you can't sleep
i learnt through that december
that a kiss can be empty after all
that a label i so easily dismissed
really does means 'just friends' and nothing more
i know it silently haunts you
losing the first honest thing you'd ever known
but it's hard to sympathise with a boy
that swears love to girls who then walk home alone
