i think you’re smart
i think a lot of things, actually.
i think if i could ever win your heart
but i think that’s silly.
we’re friends, aren’t we?
friends don’t love each other.
that’s how you see me,
as a friend and not a lover.
and that’s all you’ll ever see
and i can’t change that.
you stung me like a bee
like a pain through the heart.
all of this because
i think you’re charming, witty and smart.
we knew each other for long
since we were little kids.
we were happy with each other
and we called each other friends.
we smiled, and played,
we got older, and loved.
but our parents said

that boys don’t hug.
