A Non Love Song {Dodie x Jon Cozart}

Two

I was smiling too big for my face to handle. Today I was going to show Jon my new song that I wrote. My new song that I wrote specially for him. I couldn't help it. I held onto the neck of my ukulele tightly as I walked down to the park near my house.

Jon was already there, sitting at a picnic table. I waved at him, and he waved back. I sat down next to him with a big grin on my face. Of course he would like the song. Nothing can go wrong.

"So show me this song of yours," Jon said with a small smile. He loves it when I have new music to show him, and especially when he's the first to hear it. My heart is beating fast, and so I just close my eyes and start strumming, my fingers finding the chords on their own.

"I have a question,
It might seem strange,
How are you lungs?
Are they in pain?
'Cause mine are aching,
Think I know why,
I kinda like it though,
You wanna try?"

I open my eyes and look at Jon. He's enjoying it so far. It makes me smile briefly before going into the chorus.

"Oh, would you be so kind as to fall in love with me?
You see, I'm trying,
I know you know that I like you,
But that's not enough,
So if you will,
Please fall in love.

I think it's only fair,
There's gotta be butterflies somewhere,
Wanna share?
'Cause I like you,
And that's not enough,
So if you will,
Please fall in love with me.

Let's write a story,
Be in my book,
You gotta draw me on my page,
At least take a look,
Where's are your manners?
You need some time,
Let's swap chests today,
It might help you decide.

Oh, would you be so kind as to fall in love with me?
You see, I'm trying,
I know you know that I like you,
But that's not enough,
So if you will,
Please fall in love.

I think it's only fair,
There's gotta be butterflies somewhere,
Wanna share?
'Cause I like you,
And that's not enough,
So if you will,
Please fall in love with me.

Oh do me a favour,
Can your heart rate rise a little,
Do me a favour,
Can your heart rate rise a little.

Oh, would you be so kind as to fall in love with me?
You see, I'm trying,
I know you know that I like you,
But that's not enough,
So if you will,
Please fall in love.

I think it's only fair,
There's gotta be some butterflies somewhere,
Wanna share?
'Cause I like you,
But that's not enough,
So if you will,
Please fall in love with me."

I look at him, he's not smiling. He's got a small confused look on his face. "That, it wasn't meant for me was it?" I nodded, biting my lip. He gasped. "No, no, no, Dodie," he moved over slightly towards me and cupped my face.

"You don't like me in that way do you?" I whispered, for fear my voice will crack. "I only love you as a friend," he whispered back. I closed my eyes, feeling the wetness on my eyelashes, my lip trembling.

"I'm so sorry, Dodie," he breathes into my ear. When he says my name I hiccup, feeling the wetness go from my eyes to my cheeks and chin. So something's can go wrong, I guess.
