just a friend.

[bookish_ness]

It started off like this,
I just wanted a friend,
I didn't know that it'd all,
come to an end.

With just one word,
just one person,
could make this whole world,
fall apart.

Or so it seemed,
when,
I tried to reach out, but you
said,
I really like you,
then a minute or two,
that was gone,
because all along.

I wasn't anything,
but another pretty girl,
I wasn't anything,
but a story to twirl,
to your friends.

You can talk about,
the girl last night,
how she was just,
a pathetic sight.

Needing a friend,
needless to say,
I can't pretend,
you wouldn't be one anyway.

I wasn't anything but,
another girl on your list,
a friendly conversation,
but then I'm suddenly dissed.

Just because,
I like someone,
doesn't mean,
you have to go and run,

why can't you just be a
friend?
why does this have to
end?
why does every
bend
in the road seem harder
to turn onto,
I thought I could really,
trust in you.

You can talk about,
the girl last night,
how she was just,
a pathetic sight.

Needing a friend,
needless to
say,
I can't pretend,
you wouldn't be one
anyway.
