Never thought I'd say this
But I might be falling for you.

After our last call,
I realised how easy it was
To talk to you about anything
And everything.

And you remembered
Things I've said years ago.

'To be loved is to be known'
And you have to agree
That we know each other
A bit too well.

But alas, it's not in our cards
To end up together.

There are too many obstacles.
We have to think it through.

I don't understand
Why I suddenly feel this way
About you.

But maybe I do.
Because nobody makes the effort
To know me like you do.

Nobody likes me like you do.

Love is unconditional
But liking someone
Is a conscious effort.

And I can feel your earnesty.
I hope you can feel mine.

I would love for us to be more.
But the universe doesn't work like that.

So I'll settle for a friendship with you.
Because that's all we've ever been
And all that we could ever be.
