I Fell In Love With My Best Friend
It started months ago.
I saw you at work,
your hair rolled up
under a green beret.
And knowing me,
I probably stared
just like a cat
watching a canary.
A little light came on
when I saw you .
I asked someone,
who is that girl?
The one over there,
the one I barely noticed,
the one with the auburn hair — -
but I really don’t care.
And who was I?
I didn’t even know.
Jokes that cover up
an angry young soul
with wounded pride
and trying to hide
the hurt inside…….
ooooooooo
But when you came near me,
I learned to laugh
and felt safe again.
We were not lovers,
we were best friends,
no strings, just smiles…
We shared everything,
stories of joys
and of ghosts long gone,
never forgetting, we are-
nothing more than friends,
best friends at the most.
I won’t cloud your tomorrows.
It’s good we are not lovers.
I probably would only hurt you
and you would mirror my sorrows
and that’s not happening again.
And if I call your house,
and ask your mom if you are there,
be sure and tell her that
we are friends and nothing more.
She might warn you about me
if we were more than friends,
so tell her and she’ll know the score.
Tell her you can put your arms
around anyone that you choose,
and I can do that too.
But, it hurts to the bone — — —
the last guy you dated
put hurt on you, and
it put hurt on me too.
If I was your man and you loved me,
there is nothing that I wouldn’t do
to prove just how much that I love you.
Although I’m nervous and my mouth is dry,
this something that I need to say,
and I think it’s something that you ought to know.
My love for you is beginning to show.
Could you be mine and love me like that?
Do you love me a little bit too ?
I just can’t live without you…..
I’m being honest with me and
I’m being honest with you.
I’ve got it bad, real bad,
and now I can’t get enough of you…..
I’m sincerely in love,
and the best part is,
I fell in love with my best friend
when I fell in love with you.
