confessions

what's wrong? she asks one day
her head tilted
her eyes worried

why are you upset? she urges

i look away
can't stand looking into her eyes
for i know they don't bear the same
love as mine

robin, look at me
she touches my chin
angles my face to look at her
tell me what's wrong

i can't, i reply
why not?

because you won't understand
robin, we're friends. you can tell me anything

what if i don't want to be just friends? i ask
she blinks once
then again
and i'm doomed.
