Just Friends

It was late, later than it should have been
but I knew he'd be awake.

With the support of a friend,
provided through aol,
I answered my phone and tried to begin

He wasn't supposed to call just yet,
normally he wouldn't have for hours
but I'd left him hanging a little too much
and now I was trembling like a coward.

A simple little text message,
asking him to call..
stating we needed to discuss something
that it wasn't a big deal at all..

I tried to change the subject
to give my brain some time
to rearrange the words
to make it not a crime

When I finally asked what we really were
his shock I could practically taste

The sickest part about it all
is at first I heard "more than a friend"
but as he continued the unraveling began
and I knew we'd come to an end

Never before had than and of sounded so alike to me
but when he explain that he hadn't mean to lead me on
the difference was suddenly obvious, you see.

This probably doesn't make sense
and I know it doesn't flow
but I'm caught and twisted
my heart feels broken
and thats all I need you to know..
