"Today is a winding road
That's taking me to places
That I didn't want to go.
Whoa."
He was always Axel. He was your best friend. The guy you skateboarded with after school and hung out with between classes.
Then, one day, you looked at him, and he was Axel. The guy you trusted more than anyone, who knew you better than you knew you. Who you slept in the same bed with when you stayed over at his house.
Axel, who you liked.
And who you couldn't tell that to.
He's here tonight.
You spend nearly all your time together in the summer. You take the same classes and camps, and you stay at each other's houses almost every night. People say you two are attached at the hip.
But that's only because you can't let him go. You need him in your life, even if he can't be in your life the way you want him to be.
"What's wrong?" Axel asks.
You realize that you spaced out. "Nothing," you reply.
"No, really," Axel persists.
You grab a notebook off your desk. You can't say this out loud. You shouldn't even be saying it at all.
I like you, you write. I like you, not just like friends.
You hand him the notebook. He reads, nods, and writes back.
You're scared to read it. You're scared that he said that he hates you, that he never wants to see you again. You're scared.
You finally read.
I can't like you that way. But that doesn't change anything. You're still my best friend. The last two sentences were meant to be reassuring. Axel anticipated your fears.
But you can't help but be a little disappointed.
"Today in the blink of an eye
I'm holding on to something
And I do not know why
I tried."
Reviews are love. Constructive criticism is appreciated. Non-constructive criticism and flames will be ignored.
