Cold rain slithered down my skin The clouds above sighed upon the foolish kids of the city with a look so somber and dull, But the city lights illuminated the night and the foolish kids continued to be foolish. When we met our minds intertwined, I never met someone who viewed the world we lived in like I did But then I met you and everything started to make sense. You understood me You understood how exploring was my sanity You understood how I saw this destructive world with beauty. You understood my mind You saw me as something different. But I saw you as just a boy who figured me out. Why is it you believe we were something greater? Is it because our photos captured the similarity between the two of us? Or is it because our minds are like music notes; but yet you're on a different bar than me. And this is the truth that you couldn’t discern. You weren’t truly acknowledging my words, but rather you let them travel through you. Your words of admiration grazed my soul, but never made me feel the way you felt for me You couldn’t fathom the words “Just friends”. “Just. Friends.” A phrase that stabbed your heart and filled your eyes with the violence and the melancholy of the clouds. Your mind ran for answers that it couldn't find, lost between the knowing of what we truly were My heart burned of pity for you But I distanced us with my apathy. To the Brooklyn boy who fell in love with my mind, We’re Just friends.
