Friends....Turned lovers

I met you in the 6th grade
as my good friend boyfriend, and my boyfriend's best friend
the good times, us 4 shared, the affection we displayed
we grew as close friends, you protecting me and on you I could depend

8th grade....such a transition,
jeopardizing our friendship for a chance at a relationship,
You said it was up to me, which puts me in an awkward position
we've grow SO close over the years, and I want to keep our friendship within a firm grip

But if we do, the best thing to do,
is keep it low,
don't get me wrong, I really like you
but I know you agree with me and nobody should know
