Just Friends

Just friends
How convenient
That's all I wanted as well
I never dreamed of your arms around me
Never imagined your touch
Never noticed that smile that taunts your lips whenever I say something clever
I never wanted to be your one and only
I never wanted you to fall in love with me
Because I never fell in love with you
I'd love to be friends with you
And watch the road instead of your eyes
And listen to the music instead of your voice
And drink a whole milkshake by myself
And help you win the hearts of far more beautiful girls
Of course I will
I always have
Thank you for falling for them
And not falling for me
Just friends is good enough
Always has been
Always will be
And I'd never ask for more.
It's just like me
To read signs that were never there
And create love out of thin air
And fancy myself that you loved me
But I'm so naive
I suppose when you want something enough
You trick yourself
I had myself convinced
But as it turns out
That smile in your eyes and those silver words
Meant nothing to you
But it's okay because just friends is fine
I'm glad we're on the same page
Wouldn't have it any other way
I'm just a foolish girl with her heart in the hands of a boy who said "just friends"

[Coyote Poetry]

A beautiful and hopeful poem. Good to be friends first. I like the story and the good description in the poem. A very good ending to a excellent poem.
