Just Friends

by Ashley   Dec 29, 2009


We've been through hell,
And back.
We were friends,
Then friends with benefits,
Then lovers.
Then friends with benefits again,
Now we're just friends?
How can you do this to me?
This can't be happening.
Don't you dare speak of this.
We can't be friends,
We've gone too far.
You're my best friend,
But you're so much more.
You mean the world to me.
Love messed us up,
We went too fast.
There are a million excuses,
For why it didn't work.
I needed you,
All those times I was crying,
But you just ignored it.
You were never that girl before.
You used to be the only one
I could ever talk to.
What do I do,
To make you love me again?
I know you'll never choose me,
I get it...
But I need this little hope
That I'm holding onto.
We can make this our past,
And go back to everything.
But I think we're too far gone.
You were my love,
My one and only.
But the whole world changed,
Our world changed.
I was on top of the world,
Then my wings broke,
And I fell,
Crashed and burned.
My heart is no longer
Intact.
If you were wondering,
You broke it,
You did indeed.
It all happened when you spoke
That one word no one wants
To hear.
"Just friends."
That's what we are now.
Just friends.
I'm not doing this anymore.
This thing
Where I wait,
Then we date,
Then break up,
Then kind of get back together.
And I sit back
Like it doesn't kill me.
Like it's normal to do this.
Like it's good to wait like this.
We could be so great.
Don't you know?
Well since you don't...
I should tell you,
I need to leave you.
I'm leaving you behind.
You should be just fine.
I'm not all that special.
You won't even notice I'm gone,
Sometimes I don't think you even notice
I'm here,
So you should be just fine.
I think I've waited long enough,
You didn't make an effort,
So now I'm brokenhearted.
Just friends,
Is that what this is?
I'd rather spare my heart
And my soul.
We are done,
Calling it quits,
Did you see it coming?
You should have,
You had all the power,
All the control
To help us become,
Just friends.
This is my goodbye,
To a lifetime of heartache
And pain...
Now you're just my friend.
