Couldn't lose to another end.
And then you said upright,
"You are my friend
more than someone I like."
I guess part two of That Much

I wish I pretended I dozed off and didn't hear a thing
Those three words wasn't meant to be acknowledged
I wish I waited
Even just for a little while
Keeping it all to myself
When would you have said it?

I wish I didn't knew you had a crush on me.
Would I like you before your supposed confession?
I wish I waited
Even just for a little while
Let those feelings naturally flourish
What would you have done about it?
I wish I did not greet you with a joke about your tattered jeans
The first time we met, a story about my parents made you laugh.
I waited.
For a little too while
They would have liked you.
It started here.

I write, I just do
doesn't matter
if you call me that
I'd hesitate more

you weren't even looking for it
yet you found the right book
liking it more than you expected
now you read like you owe it

for the lost time, maybe
questioning the timing
craving for more, you indulge
answering its questions

getting to know yourself more
you never thought,
how can a book connect,
and show your reflection

in many ways you couldn't imagine
of all the books you could choose
your favorite book owes it to you
for giving it an interest, a chance

for the attention
almost undivided
an ordinary book waiting
to touch even just for a single life

you flipped it open
patiently waited
carefully thought of it
and appreciated it

this book served its purpose
you could go back at it from time to time
it will be  right there lying around
you won't even need to look for it

you know where it is,
the pilot book, that made you read more
you would have discover a lot of books then
realize how unique and equally beautiful they are.
