Hands entwined together, both of us quiet,

I thought that's all I needed while tired.

Before that moment, I never quite knew

that this is how much I wanted you.

Bodies pressed tightly together,

we were so close and yet so far.

Wanting it to last, to be forever;

I even wished upon a missing star.

But I still felt it back then

and I feel it even now, too;

as I stain this paper with my pen,

writing all the reasons why

it will never be just me and you.

Nothing can help me anymore.

You're wandering through my dreams,

exposing my secrets, my each and every flaw.

For you, I'm cracking at the seams.

My gaze starts to innocently wander;

to your hair which smells so sweet,

to your eyes shining with laughter, tender,

to your soft lips - my heart skips a beat.

I view all of your lovely curves and lines,

imprinting them in my mind as a memory.

Because in the end, I'm just a girl who pines;

we're just two friends lacking any bravery.

Because after all, in the end,

both of us clearly want the same,

we both want to share our growing flame,

but I am still just your friend.
