"Let's be friends"

I’m tortured

I’ve thought of you every waking moment

For days now

How beautiful, caring and thoughtful you are

And so attractive

In a way I haven’t felt for many years now

And I’ve thought

About how my heart has been so broken

And your feelings…

How hurting you would be such a crime

Worsening the pain

With every moment of passing time

That I tricked us both

Into pretending I’m ready for you
