If I could only tell you Day 1

I wrote this one day

Maybe I'll write like this everyday

-------------------------------------------------


I may love you as a bit more than a friend

I may love you as way more than a friend

I may love you as a friend

I know I love you, or I think I do

It's very complicated

Sometimes I want to say I love you

Just when we're talking

I feel like I need to say it

I don't know what I mean with it

I don't know what it means

All I know is that I have the need to tell you sometimes

And I don't

Because who wants to hear that time and again

From someone you don't love

Who wants to be that person that does that

I certainly do not

But sometimes I can't help it

I just really want to say it

So I think about saying it

And how the conversation will stop

Become awkward

Maybe for a minute

Maybe for a day

Maybe for a week

But what if I keep saying it

Will it stop being awkward?

Will it be part of our routine?

Will the conversation not stop anymore?

Will you ignore it?

I don't want to find out

So I don't tell you

And I know I'll probably show you this

When I'm weak

Or when I'm strong enough to handle it

Or when everything gets so bad I don't care anymore

I hope it's not the latter

But it may be

Ask me which one it is

Hug me if I'm weak

Hug me if I'm strong

Hug me if I don't care

Because I know

When I show you this

I will need a hug

But maybe

I won't show you

And I'm just writing this

And you will never read it

Maybe life will get better

Maybe

Sometimes I think

About what it would be like

If you did like me

I always feel so stupid

Because I don't want it to happen

So why even think it?

I just wonder how life would be

I don't want it to actually happen

I hope I won't show you this

Because it is ridiculous

I also hope I do show you

One day

Just so you'll know

My thoughts and feelings

But honestly fuck that

Fuck feelings and emotions and complicated stuff

I want our friendship to be how it is right now

How it is right this second

Just making jokes and talking a lot

That's what makes me happy
