you're so different,
so loving.
your beautiful, kind eyes pull me in closer
when your arms won't.
the word 'friends' ends it,
pushing a physical gap between us.
the distance says, "you are here. he is there. this is how it has to be."
i would do absolutely anything to get rid of it...
to tear that boundary down and let each other have exactly what we have been wanting.
cuddles under fuzzy blankets.
whispers of love that i've never felt before.
i love you.
your smile.
your laugh.
your stupid jokes.
your hand squeezes as i fall asleep.
when i'm with you home is no longer an address on a street.
home is a person.
your arms are home.
they're warm,
filled with love,
but they can't be my home.
i don't have the key to get in.
i hope you know it's absolutely killing me.
to love you so much,
yet all i can be is your friend.
i wish i could be more...
i want to be older.
i want to be the girl that you tell your friends about.
the girl you tell your mom about.
i can't.
the boundary between us always wins.
we are forced to accept it.
i love you, friend.
