He's Just a Friend

He's just a friend,

And that is enough.

I know that fact for sure

And I'm certain he knows it too.

No matter what you say, 

No matter how many words you gossip.

It is nothing. 

He doesn't want me.

I wish you would stop 

Planting thoughts in my brain that he does. 

Not every word he speaks is to me,

Not every lover he speaks of is me. 

I will not hold my hopes up higher

Than the sky itself.

And now I only wish for you to be there as well. 

No, I will not hold my hopes up high

Because you overthink, and oversee. 

I know we are not that different,

But he is just a friend,

He would never love someone like me.

    And the wind catches in your hair,

    And blankets the world,

    Like a shield. 

     

    The waves nip at our feet,

    The water's cold

    But I'm warm because you hold my hand,

    We stand on the dock,

    The sun has set,

    But I can see your happiness 

    Even in the dead of night.

     

    The streetlight's on,

    The metal is all rusted

    And covered in salt,
