This is about feelings that you can’t control. It’s about a friend of mine who I care about deeply and, even though I’m not in love with him, there are some feelings involved that just shouldn’t be there. Where do you draw the line between friend and something more?

Between Friend and Lover

Where’s the line
that separates friend from lover?
Because I can’t explain
exactly what I feel.

I can’t stop thinking
of how much I miss you.
Can’t stop the smile
when I hear your name.
The way I inhale your scent
whenever you hug me tightly.
And the fact that I hate your girlfriend,
even though I haven’t meet her.
But still, I don’t dream
of kissing you.
Not of sleeping quietly
beside you in your bed,
or doing more
than sleeping in that bed.

So what I propose is the following;
I won’t mention a word of this.
You’ll never know anything
about what I feel for you.
Your friendship means more to me
than any weak possibility of a romance.
‘Cause I just can’t bear the thought
of losing you in any way.

If anyone is interested, it went from friend to boyfriend/lover to break-up to nothing.

Still, it was worth it. Maybe.
