Still Insecure About Our Friendship

how do I tell you I only want to talk to you

I want to share every thought with you

and I want to hear every thought of yours

without sounding insane

because we're just friends

and I don't want that to end

I'm just getting to know you

so I won't fuck it up this time

and tell you I love you

if every day was spent with you

doing things you want to do

I would be happy

just to be there

but we're just friends

and I'd like to see you again

because I like to hang out with

when you have the time

so I can't tell you

that I love you

when I think of a happy endings

or hear any love song

all I see is me and you

making memories together

I'm still not sure we're friends yet

maybe you were just putting up with me

I have been known to misread cues

oh great I'm feeding my insecurities

definitely not time to tell you I love you

I know that you don't need it

but some primal part of me

wants to be your protector

just to show you how deeply I care

but if I want you to believe me

I have to be more patient

I want to be a best friend to you

and I know it will take time

just so you know, I'll always be there for you

even if it's just as friends

as long as you are happy
