Sometimes all we really want is for someone to see us in that same way we do them. To have that mutual feeling of belongingness with someone you hold dear. Signs may be misinterpreted, and gestures may be wrongly placed. I, for one, have been caught in a web of confused feelings myself😞. Known this beautiful girl for quite a long time. We came from completely different homes and raised in different cultural backgrounds. We met in school and came to be so close I couldn't go a day without seeing her. Feelings sprouted and grew like wild weeds regardless of how ferociously I fought them off.

So there came a time I couldn't hold back any longer. I knew the feeling was mutual....at least, my friends swore it was. I mustured the courage of a Kamikaze and confessed my feelings... "We're just friends..nothing more. I'd like to keep it that way. But I do like you a lot, just not like that..."...

Just A Friend

You are just a friend
Those words still echo in my head
Threatening to rupture my feeble heart
And trigger a stream of tears
Was it all for nothing?
The long conversations,the crazy laughs, 2000 phone calls and still counting?
Were your smiles just a Shakespearean stage act?
Or I was too dumb,oblivious to the fact?
That we were not meant to be

Indelible memories sculptured in my brain
Ambitious dreams of an "us",cradled and nurtured in vain
Yes! It was all for nothing. Feed me my pain!
It was a chance I sought
For a piece of me was already bought
and sold into the slavery of ruinous imagination
An imagination with the image of you calling me "your one"

I swear your body killed me
The architecture of your face awes me still
So beautiful...an epitome of beautiful black

I am just a friend
Well, I hoped for more
Dreams of Elysian happiness have yet not eluded me
I am just a friend
And, I am yet to be more...

And The Poem?

Well, I wrote this poem later that night. I write most of my poems based on my personal experience. So before you go all judgy and conclusive on people, get to really know them first. And hey..don't get too attatched to SOMETHING. The turn of events may be shocking. Game Of Thrones taught me that😂. Don't ask me what happened next between us, because that's a story for another day☺

Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you guys again soon.
