Let's Just be Friends

[*Jamison*]

This feeling's creeping up again.
I definitely have to push it away.
I can't feel this way towards you.
It's you.
Friendly, sweet, passionate,
Loving, caring, wonderful
You.
No no.
There it is again.
My feelings just can't come out.
Yet with every thought,
With every word spoken to me,
I see it.
That bond.
That unspoken liking we have
For each other.
It's always been there,
From day one.
I knew you could see it,
Feel it too.
But here we are,
You with her,
Me by myself.
We both know where your
Relationship is going,
How it will end.
Doomed.
But you always pick girls like that,
Destined for nothing.
It's the same thing over and over.
You set yourself up for heartache,
When you know the perfect one for you
Is right in front of your eyes.
And you always come back to me,
With your broken heart.
But we always remain friends.
Just friends.
It's almost like a game we play.
We hang out with each other,
But we never let the emotions out.
They're there though.
I can almost touch the feelings
With my fingertips,
So I know they are real.
I wish I could grab those feelings,
And hide them away.
Then they wouldn't be out.
Then maybe they wouldn't be real.
Being friends with you
Is what I'm content with,
Because anything more
Would open up the flood gates,
Letting out the already pent-up emotions.
I don't think I could handle that.
And I don't think you could handle
All the love I'd give to you,
And just how perfect we'd be as one.
I love you,
But let's just be friends....

this is a stirring piece. i lived this for years. i was in love with my best friend. unfortunately, she wasn't in love with me. don't be the unrequited other, it will only break your heart. it may be obvious to you, but the other party is probably blissfully oblivious to your feelings. at the very least face him with your feelings, and seek a response.

 

[up all night]

I feel this one.
