I cried when I thought about you today.
My chest tightened and my heart swelled.
You are so distant, now.
Is it because I limited you when you kissed me?
Kept your hands from exploiting my body?

A long-standing friendship, nearly gone
After awakening a dormant beast.
The words that flowed freely as if chains had burst
hold such little meaning.

You are so distant, now
After tender arms tangled together late at night.
I could have swore there was love in your eyes.
Has it been shadowed by fear?

But don't worry,
I'm a suffer-in-silence type.
You'll never have to hear such things,
Let's just be old friends again.

We'll just be the same as we were.
Old friends.
Written about a friend I've had for half of my life.
