Poetry Book: Songs from the Heart [COMPLETED]

just friends

They say it takes time to fall in love
But I dont know if my heart listened
When I found you, my traitorous heart skipped
I didn't think you had the same feelings
So I never say a word about it

But I feel it, deep down,
That what my heart feels is more,
More than I thought it'd be
More than I had hoped it'd be

Why? You see, I am sickly
Chronically ill, and saddened by it
And my biggest fears are
Someone saying they love me, then leafing me
Because I'm a sick little girl
Or something similar to that hateful vitriol

I know what you said when I mentioned that
I remember the anger in your eyes that
Someone could be so cruel
You didn't understand why someone would say that

I'd have to agree, but you and me?
I think it'd be just best if we remained what we are now
Just friends .....
..... just friends

But I don't want to be just friends
Not with you
If I'm being honest,
I hope you feel that way, too

Just friends .... with you, it seems
Like that would be a grave mistake
We are both alone
And both distant and sad
But we just need healing
And maybe you and I could heal together

Just friends with you doesn't feel right
I think we should try to be more
But I know that
I will never tell you how I feel
Out of fear, because I'm sure it'll destroy something....
Something I love dearly

Just friends is what we will likely always be
Unless you somehow
Fall in love with me
