it was nice to feel
like we were on the same page

instead of believing
it was all in my head

hated myself for making you feel
like there were things you just couldn't say

because you wanted
to stay my friend

and it was phenomenal
to think out loud

intoxicating to
be so close

standing next to you
couldn't help being proud

knowing i didn't
have to be afraid to disclose

then a whisper in a room
a stupid text

word got around
and i couldn't believe it

faith started crumbling
at the sight of what you said

every part of my soul ached
hoping you didn't mean it
