Just Friends

[jader]

We are just friends.
We talk to one another any chance we get.
We share about our days, and our plans,
But we are not dating.

He stares at me,
Watching my body with every move I make.
But he rarely says anything about my appearance.
We are just friends.

When I try to find peace in my head,
I always think of him.
When I invision what true love looks like,
He is the main character.
But we are just friends.

Some people say that soulmates are best friends
That somehow fall in love with one another.
I wish that was true.
But we are just friends.

We are just friends.
Friends who steal glances across the room
To see who looks away first.
Friends who invision what life would look together,
But are too scared to ruin the friendship.

We travel back and forth to watch each other's games,
To share one another's hobbies,
But we are just friends.

We are just friends.
We sense the safe feeling of home
When we are around one another,
But not safe enough to give it a chance.

We are just friends,
But everyone tells me they see the way I look at him.
They say that there is something there.
How he looks at me,
But it is like I have blinders on.
Protecting the relationship already established
with one of the people I love the most.

It scares me to risk the connection we already have
So I just remain friends.

We are just friends
Who aren’t really friends at all.
