I saw you yesterday
We went on a “date”
It had been a while since we’ve had one of those
But some feelings rose

Nostalgia hit me
We got a late lunch and watched Bohemian Rhapsody
Queen is my favorite band
But nothing else makes my heart skip a beat like when you reached for my hand

I had to keep reminding myself...we’re just friends
Our romantic past came to an end
We’ve started something new - a friendship
But God, do I love those lips

Why is it so hard to keep things as friends with someone you’ve had a romantic past with?
Why can’t things work out the way we want them to and be filled with bliss?
So many thoughts have ran through my mind
How I want him to be mine

The truth is, I’m in love with someone that doesn’t love me back
It hurts like a heart attack
I can’t give him up though
I wish I could know

He used to love me and somehow, it went away
I don’t know what changed
It’s still something that makes me wonder
But it’s something that I shouldn’t ponder

Perhaps, I’ll never know
With time, we’ll see where we go
But in the end,
I hope it’s you that holds my hand
