We sat conversing
smiles and laughs,
then I asked you
if you had feelings
with a paused look
you said to me,
"I like you as a friend"
it was at that moment
my heart sunk into my stomach
tears began to form inside,
those smiles and laughs
became total awkwardness
and internal sadness,
in the friend zone I sit
with absolutely no gladness.
