What Now?

He laughs at the thought of love
for now, it’s far from what he wants to have
says “I’m too busy to make time for that”
texts his friends to hang out, “where you at?”

She’s comfortable when he’s around
the feeling like it lifts her from the ground
fly above across the sky
happiness makes her high

a decade brought stronger friendship
enough to build a bridge to relationship
not just a friend but also a confidant
leaving her he just can’t

one day they decided to try
not only once and they didn’t know why
she can’t stand without him long
he thinks love is just too strong

she then decided that friendship must stay
and if love is bound it’ll make a way
he can’t decide what he feels inside
the pain and love would not subside

what now? He asks
starting over is a difficult task
he sips alcohol from the glass
spill these secrets is what he does.
