We're just friends. I tell people that all the time but I can't seem to make it through a conversation without thinking about kissing you. I can't focus when you look at me like that, I can't breath when we touch. We're just friends , every time you say that a little piece of me dies because my skin is on fire burning to touch yours.

It's chemical

It's beautiful 

You say it's platonic 

But how can I platonically know that you love being kissed on the back on your shoulder, laying down on your drive way every time it storms because you love the smell of rain, driving two hours just to dance in front of the headlights in the middle of nowhere because we make it fell like ours 

I cannot bear the thought of watching you fall in love without me

But I'd support you even though the idea of you kissing someone else makes my skin crawl because all I've ever wanted is for you to find all the happiness in the world

Even though every time you get hurt, I'm the one that picks up the pieces and puts you back together

Even though every time they leave, I'm the one who's still here

Even though you deserve a love that would stay

I would stay
