I sit here
Right beside you
Struggling to formulate
The words, they won't articulate
I freeze, I get scared
But my heart keeps pounding
Every time I'm with you my heart races
I can't control this feeling
At first I hoped I moved on
But it looks like I haven't.
I may not be as good looking,
As rich as your celebrity crush
But at least I'm here,
Acknowledging your existence
I promise to protect you
I promise to keep you safe
Even though many of your friends
Are capable of doing the same.
I just want to spend almost every moment with you
Standing beside you even when we're apart.
I love you and your every flaw
I love you and your every quirk
I love you and your every interest
I think I really love you.
I would've love to tell you this in person
But my mouth and mind prevent it from happening
I'm typing this here hoping you see this
Maybe somewhere in your heart, you could consider us
More than just friends.
But even if you can't find it,
That's alright with me.
I'll stick to my role
As being one of your bestest friends.
