“You told me you didn’t love him, just the other day”
You said, reiterating the words you’d heard me say
“I told you the truth of how I felt at that time.
In that moment, I thought that everything was fine”

“But now you say you love him, how can that be so?”
Your eyes are accusing and I hear it in your tone.
I reply “one day you feel angry and another you’re fine,
I don’t expect you to feel the same way all the time”

“My feelings I’d buried, pushed them down deep inside,
It wasn’t a choice that I’d made, not to confide.”
You look at me with eyes full of disappointment,
At my feelings of someone that you to resent.

I’ll try not to get swept up in this emotional sea,
For the man who in many ways, is so wrong for me.
I’ll bury my truth deep down inside my heart,
And won’t let it split me and my best friend apart.
