Lost Battle

We are friends
We are just friends
I reminded myself of a hundredth time
when my heart would race and whisper something in its own words.

I put on a brave face and pushed forward,
determined to ignore my heart's persistent whispers of longing.
Because we were friends that's what I said
and judged that it was working wrong.

I stopped myself from leaning in
for I might ruin what was perfect
and lose what was important
Just for my heart's sake.
I reminded my mind to take control
before my heart swallows my only friendship.
But
Then
You kissed me
The ropes I had tied around my heart to keep it in place slowly loosened, My heart, no longer restrained, began to race with a fervour I had never felt before.

In the end, I lost the battle.
