It was all a joke..

It was one lovely night..
on the 17th of December..
my best friend confessed to me..
and that was all i could remember..

his voice still rings in my ears..
when he said, " i do like you"..
i had goosebumps when he asked,
"do you really like me too?"..

i've known him for so long..
almost a year of being my friend..
i've cherished it a lot..
but tonight, i know it will all end..

i never imagined,
it would end up this way..
he once loved my cousin,
i'm afraid what others might say..

but love is a powerful thing..
my feelings overpowered..
i wondered if it is real..
and "yes" is what he answered..

we then became lovers..
much happier i seem to be..
i see him as my man..
but i was too blind to see..

he really loves my cousin..
and that's what he said..
all i did was nothing..
but to lie on my bed..

he was my first love..
i was his fling..
he keeps me hurting more and more..
but he doesn't know what i'm truly feeling..

i was just reminiscing this past..
while putting on my cloak..
i stepped outside my door and then realized,
what happened before was all a JOKE..
