Let's Just Be Friends

Feb 7th, 2006

You say: Let's just be friends.
I say: Aren't we already?

You say: I don't want to get married.
I say: Neither do I.

You say: This can't go on. I know you do.
I say: It's not important.

You sob: I am sure you can find someone more worthy of you.
I choke: I've found you.

You plead: You know I love you.
I mutter: I never stop telling you.

You wonder: How sad are you?
I answer: I don't know.

You whisper: Please don't cry.
I weep: I can't stop.

I muse: I will never find someone better than you.
You brood: I will never find someone madder than you.
We hug.

To you, my mouth braves, I am alright.
To me, my mind breaks down, I am abandoned.
To you, I smile cherrily.
To me, I smile woefully.
