A Smile for the Love I Have for You

85 21 30
                                    

I tell myself...
I'm in love.
A radiant smile
plastered on my face.

But would I say,
I love you
because I mean it?

I wouldn't.
Because I'm not in love.
We were only
ever meant to be friends.

And I find myself okay
with the idea of me loving you
as family.

A radiant smile
still plastered on my face.
