In the quiet of the fading light, I pen these words, a heartfelt plight,

A symphony of memories, in my heart, it stirs and brews,

"I could never be just friends with you," a truth stark under the moon's review.

We danced in shadows, hearts unbound, in whispers, for me, love was found.

But time, relentless, marched us to a crossroads, under different hues.

Each laugh, a melody, each touch, a poem's line,

In the fabric of my days, your essence intricately twine.

Through the lens of love and loss, my vision clears, renews,

Acknowledging a soul-deep truth,

"I could never be just friends with you."

Our paths diverged, yet the echoes of your voice still resonate,

In every corner of my world, in the early hours, and when it's late.

The question hangs, a poignant hue, in moments quiet, in nights subdued,

Were those nights, skin to skin, just fleeting joys for you?

Or were they more than that, like they were for me too?

But if time could fold, and stars realign, under the same sky, our hearts entwine,

I'd whisper softly, in the dark, truths that the daylight never knew.

That every moment spent with you, beneath the infinite, starlit view,

Was never just another night, but a dream that for me, heartbreakingly true.

So, I pen these words, not just in farewell, but in hope's gentle embrace,

That in another life, another time, we find a different space.

Where "I could never be just friends with you" , finds its place in a story new, but with a different meaning, something new.

And nights, skin to skin, are not just memories, but a future where dreams come true.

For every laugh, there hides a tear,

For every hug, a ghost of you draws near.

To see you happy, yet so far away,

Is the bitter price I must now pay.

I long to hold you close, to mend what's broken,

But the past lingers, the words unspoken.

But what do you do when it comes down to just me and not including you?

The answer, guided by therapy's cue,

Was to walk away, by myself, without you.

So please, let me go, release me from this pretend,

For I could never be strong enough to be

"Just Friends"

in the end.

"Just Friends"
