Just Friends

We met on the train,

You said "Hello,"

From then on I knew,

Our friendship would grow.

You and I became,

An inseparable pair,

Wherever I was,

You were always there.

I had your back,

And you had mine,

In a world of darkness,

Our light did shine.

But I always thought,

There was something more,

Behind that charming smile,

There was a hidden door.

I had known from the start,

That I loved you,

My feelings kept increasing,

They just grew and grew.

Then one day I exploded,

Stressed with exams,

All I'd had for breakfast,

Was buttered toast and jam.

Right after class,

I burst into tears,

You hugged me tight,

And soothed my worst fears.

Everyone had gone,

To the next class,

The hallway was empty,

We were the last.

Then gently you kissed me,

My heartbeat raced,

I struggled to keep it,

At a steady pace.

"Go get some sleep,"

You said with a smile,

You walked with me,

We talked for a while.

We were like this,

While two winters passed,

We kissed and we laughed,

But I knew it wouldn't last.

The next day I told you,

How I felt for you,

You just sighed and said,

"I know you do."

After a while,

You whispered to me,

"Just friends?"

It pains me can't you see?

That I love you more,

Than you love me,

My life can't go on,

I'm lost at sea.

I should have known,

That this is how it would end,

That we would always be,

Forever just friends.
