We never dated,
Not even close.
Someone you didn’t love,
Nor hate, I suppose
Just a girl that would be there,
A girl who’d always care
About everything and anything
You’d say
Even about something so dumb,
Like last time,
When you stubbed your thumb
On something in your way.
I often think
If it would’ve been best
If I hadn’t texted you that day.
Maybe I wouldn’t catch myself
Analyzing every word you say,
And every text you send,
Searching for hints,
You might want me to understand.
You made me sad.
You made me cry.
You made me mad
But still I try
To make you mine
Without making a move,
Because we’re just friends,
And I care.
About everything and anything.
A friendship is sometimes much more valuable than a love affair
