Memories

He sits next to me,
Nothing more than friends,
He said.
But are you sure?

Yes, all the signs are there.
His smile, his laugh,
I feel so at home.
Is this what they call love?

He's such a gentleman,
Walked me to the car,
Waits after class,
Hugs goodbye.
So why does it not feel right?

Because we're friends,
That's why.
If you knew how I felt,
You'd run away,
Right?

But if you do all these things,
Do you not feel the same?
At home,
At peace,
With just a look.
Just a glance,
And everything is understood.

We were in love,
But nothing was said.
We were in love,
But the chance was not taken.

We were just friends,
That's all we ever are.
Back then,
And Now.
I think we've missed our chance.
