it's been a while since i've seen you, and it's also been a while since i've thought about you
it feels like when you were away thoughts of you just seemed to slowly fade, although the words never did
but how funny is it that one day back, i meet up with you and suddenly everything comes rushing back
and it's somewhat confusing and overwhelming at the same time

but you know what it's okay
i won't be with you anyway
because i'm not the one for you
and you are definitely not the one for me
and maybe this attraction thing is normal for people who will never be
even though it's frustrating
even though hope may sometimes bud
it will never take root and grow into
something solid
substantial
real

i'm okay with it because being around you is enough for me
your mind is what i love,
and admiring it from afar is more than anything i could ever ask for
thank you for being my friend
and thank you for being the one to make me feel
