There’s the smooth, watery thing
A feeling, an idea
That washes over me
I tend to let it move me
Somehow, it involves you.
I like the idea of you
The way I got a glimpse of
What could be–
How you care for me
And I would cherish every moment
With you.
Your smile
Oh, how cheesy I sound!
But through the laugh that erupts
And spills over,
I see a glimpse of innocence–
That sweet light of yours
There’s something about you
I can’t quite put my finger on
It’s not a crush
…Or so i thought.
No matter how much I try
To ignore the pitter-patter
Of my heart
The stolen glances,
The ability to hear your name
Everywhere,
It’s there.
But it’s not meant to be us
Only God knows
I have to trust Him
In the quietness of my room,
I pray and try to shift my mind
To the things above.
When I think about us now
My chest gets heavy
It feels like it’s unfamiliar, weird
To breathe
I’m not sure where we’re going,
But something has to change
And I have to step into a new thing–
Let go of what I cannot hold onto
The “L” word popped up
Earlier than I expected
It feels forbidden, wrong
Our connection isn’t as close
I’m still learning about you,
About me
I never want to
Lead you on
Confuse you
Push anything further than “friends”
What I said isn’t filled with dishonesty,
Though, it has a hint of immaturity,
In my eyes
I realize how this may look.
I wonder
How you feel about all this,
About me.
As these thoughts
Pour out “effortlessly”
I wonder
If you’ve ever wanted to text me
If you have something to say
But the words don’t make it out
The text remains unsent
I can’t help but think
That you might not even see it this way
You might see me as just a friend
I’m gonna have to be okay with that
If so.
But boy, is it gonna sting
I’ll be fine
It’s not the end of the world
I’ll have to see things for how they really are
Then I can fully move on.
Maybe then i’ll finally be free
For now I move forward
The best I can
My head held high
My hopes up in the air
My smile continuing
To shine bright
My love, still as wide as can be.
