Just friends

I don’t care if I romanticise it all in my head

Imagine you speaking to me in a certain way

Looking at me like I was the best thing that ever happened to you

Romanticism is almost as good as reality

Actually it’s probably better

(You don’t need a therapist to tell you that excitement fades after a year)

So even if I can’t bring myself to tell you

And I act like we’re just friends

Even though I wonder if you may like me too

(Because I always see this flicker in your face each time we meet)

Well I’m going to leave it now

And instead take joy in the most beautiful stories I create in my mind

Wondering if one day, one day

they might come true
