we were everything but also nothing all at once

I never even fell in love with you I never got the chance to feel more than just flighty feelings for you Sometimes I wonder what we would’ve been like A pair of friends, of something more Would you have taken a chance on me if I were more? Was I wrong to think that you might’ve felt something too? Why do people think we would mesh well if you can’t see it either? I never got the chance to try with you I wish I didn't have to block out three months of whatever we were Just to feel normal again Why does it have to be awkward when we get paired together? What can I do to fix it all? I never even fell in love with you But it feels like I did This unrequited, unasked for, flighty finicky feelings of something So yes, sometimes I think about what we could’ve been I mean, you did hug me I have the vague and foggy reminder of what it felt like Your warmth enveloped my chill And it all felt normal and right Just for that very moment It felt like home It felt solid but… I never even fell in love with you I was in awe of who you had become Yet it seems like you never changed at all Had I created this new version of who you are just to please myself? To justify what I thought about you? I never even fell in love with you

this is lowkey a sequel to the L word as they are both about the same person
