I knew it would hit sooner or later,
It always does.
"I don't want to date you, it's not that I don't like you,
I really do, you do so much for me,
But I don't want to ruin the friendship we have."
Hell.
You don't know how much that stung when you told me.
I knew I missed my chance with you,
And that just sunk it in.
I wanted to curl up in your arms,
Have you hold me one last time,
And try to convince you otherwise.
"But you have another guy now.
Go and have your fun with him."
Little did you know,
That's all talk.
I like him but I don't think he feels the same,
And I definitely need to keep myself guarded.
I try to tell myself and others I am talking to some guy,
Or I fall way too fast,
Just so I won't feel so pathetic and lonely.
I guess that's just how I work and you know that.
So thanks for being an awesome friend.
If I can't be your lover,
I will always be your friend,
I like you too much to let you go.
