they were more than friends,
she looked at him like no one had before
he held her like the world was ending
they could stare at each other for hours without a single word.
and at the end of the day she loved him and
he well,
he knew he could never love her
not in the way she deserved,
not the way she loved him.
and thus,
they would always be more than friends,
but less than lovers
