My head, giddy

Your eyes, hungry



My arms, expectant

Your lips, intent



Let’s say it’s not love

Let’s pretend

What do you want?

Just a friend?



My heart, slow

Your whisper of “No”



My love, true

Your soul, you



Let’s say you don’t care

Let’s pretend

But I still love you

As more than a friend



My brain, high

Your hips, your thigh



My hope, winged

Your voice when you sing



Let’s say love’s a lie

Let’s keep playing

I still want you

I can’t stop saying



You

Blue jeans

Green t shirt

Beautiful bare feet



Me

Empty bed

My shadow lurks

Your lips taste sweet



My words, desperate

You, so separate



My feet, searching

The fear you’re nurturing



Let’s say it’s not love

Let’s just pretend

How can I still

Just be your friend?



Me, sorry

It’s you I’m facing



You, running

I can’t stop chasing
