You know,
We really didn't try.
I mean you really didn't try,
Those few moments were
Amazing, perfect, happy.
I told you because you asked,
I told you because I thought
Maybe it would be different this time.
Before I told you, I said that I
Didn't want to ruin a friendship.
You asked,
Maybe you felt like you had to,
To make me happy.
I said yes,
To make myself happy.
And then that happiness,
Was shattered
Like broken glass;
Crumbled like balled up paper,
My smile quickly faded.
You said, "I don't think I can do it,"
Meaning our relationship.
I said, "Okay." No fight,
You replied, "Yeah. I mean you're a good friend and I don't want to ruin that,"
And that was it, I understood because that was the reason I didn't want to tell you anyway...
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Haven't written a poem in a while. Has this happened to anyone else? It's happened to me a little while ago and I felt like I needed to share it..
