I love you

My friend just told me that she loved me, 
But I don't think she loves me the way I love her. 

"I love you too." 
But I do love her, 

I love the way she always knows what I'm talking about, 
And the way she tells me all of her secrets
Because she knows I keep them right next to mine. 

"You're my best friend, I love you so much" 
She responds with her head resting on my shoulder. 

The words I say have no meaning, 
Because I know I don't love her the way she loves me.

    A reminder of a past days sacrifice
