a/n: folklore about one of my friends!!! hope u enjoy :)) she's in a tough spot rn so send her love!
laughs from all your cool friends,
they loved us and so
i could've sworn this was it,
your heart was mine and that's all i ever wanted,
you went along but now that time is gone,
so i watch you from afar,
and think that i almost had it.
you're something of the past,
so i pushed you to the back,
your silent presence left it's essence-
i feel you on the back of my mind,
i think i have you, but you're
slipping into the mystery of time.
we started talking again on a late summer night,
i've known you for so long,
but i think that it'll never be enough,
you say we're friends,
but i don't think friends feel like this.
friends don't stare at each other's lips,
friends don't play 20 questions
and say that there was nothing to it,
you greet me every morning and
say goodbye, go sleep tight, every night,
like i'm a light, your only guide,
i want to be your best friend
i want you to like me the way i like you.
your brother tells me all the things
that make me miss you more,
you're here, but you're not,
oh, i'm wondering what this is all for.
but if you took me to that school dance,
i know it's stupid, but maybe this could last,
if you looked at me with those eyes, maybe i'd smile,
and we'd dance in the old gym,
faraway from the stage,
your hands holding me in,
i'd think this is it.
i can't be "just a friend"
i want to be your best friend
i want you to look in my eyes,
in a sweaty gym filled with
crowd-pleaser teenagers and
pink punch; who knows where it's been?
would you feel the way that i do for you?
because i really want you to.
