you say i'm beautiful.

something special, i guess.

words i scarcely hear.

your eyes.

they reflect wonderment

at the things it could be.

but i have him

and you have her.

you take my hand.

and drag me into this dance.

and

i

am

falling.

there's nothing here to catch me.

those eyes.

your gaze grinds right into me.

playing with my heart.

but i love him.

Not you.

and you love her.

Not me.

and forever we will be,

no more

than merely

friends.
