The way our eyes find each other in a crowd of laughter.
The way our high five ends with our fingers interlaced.
The way a hug lasts just longer than it should.
The way we're both scared to do anything more
And it would be a lie to say I'm happy with what we have
Right now.
But it would be the truth to say I'm afraid to change.
Afraid of losing you.
So I'll settle for this.
But I lay awake at night wishing you were next to me.
And texting and deleting "I love you" has become part
Of my routine.
And I write letters to you that I'll never send.
Because we're less than lovers.
But more than friends.
