i am no stranger to loss,
i have had many a best friend turned lover,
confusing kind words for affection
mixing secrets with lost hands,
hands that touched more than my heart
in more than just gentle ways
i am no stranger to loss,
maybe that’s why with you I’m less cautious
and mixed signals might be necessary
so we both have an excuse as to why we could never blossom into love
you belong in the friendzone
and I should not be motivated by fear of being alone
yet here are we
calling what we do meant to be
when will I learn to look for love in the right place?
