Platonic Friendships Best friends until death do us part Photographs and reactions My anxiety starts Does she like that sweater you got her? Is it the one you got me? I know I probably sound crazy to you But this is making sense to me A quick photo of you guys Not just you two but three But the only guy in that Photo and you’re standing next to Na- No I’m not jealous of her Because I really can’t be But seeing you happy with Another girl can’t help but **** me I know you won’t kiss or hold Another body the way you do mine But the conversations we have The places we go, do you share that stuff? Don’t lie I grow with bitterness And the flowers I had Die in an instant and I grow so mad Because I took the time to mend myself And make sure I never spoil this And when I finally explode We talk until we don’t know And it ends up being a problem dismissed Sometimes I grow angry But tell myself im fine I mentally yell Can she find a boyfriend and Stop hanging out with mine Platonic friendships What a concept Guess im not in with the times I worry that you’ll grow tired of my rage And leave me behind And I don’t think id be fine What if there comes a time That she finds a guy And he starts asking why Why she hangs around one Particular guy who just so happens to be mine? What would she say? What would she do? I guess you’ll never get it Because how could you? If I had a guy Who I say is my friend Would you lie And say its fine Just like I do? Or would you do neither? I don’t know what your heart looks like around her And I don’t know what hers looks like either When shes sitting there and you pop out your camera And you take photographs of her do you glance at her beauty The way you glance at me when we sit in car seats and you’re clearly seeing through me Im sorry im just not use to this Platonic friendships But I wont be ashamed for feeling And I’m not very good at concealing These feelings im healing Im trying I’m not one to really cry I guess I’ll never get it Because how could I? I could never catch A movie with another guy I could never handpick a gift for another guy share my life with another guy laugh and smile for another guy how could i? how could i. you say my definition of best friends seems to be outdated but its hard to adjust to modernity and to be honest i hate it coffee talk and movie watch the whispers that you breathe piece of you all over my body and you carry pieces of me I think ******* this is gonna hurt if you ever decide to leave but my heart is in the right place and I just hope you see I want it to be me Always want it to be me It might be selfish but I don’t care Because being your soulmate Is worth every strand of hair You put me first and love me tender And I want you to be happy Wherever and with whoever It’s just that smile of yours My piece of heaven on earth I wanna be the reason for that And if its anyone else itd hurt but you could never write about another girl start a life with another girl write a book for another girl sing lovely songs for another girl paint the future with another share yourself with another girl hold and kiss another girl so why do I care about another girl?
i wrote this about my boyfriend and his best friend who happens to be a girl. platonic friendships were/are a new concept to me and i didn't know how to comprehend that and get past my jealousy.
