i taught myself
to avoid every memory
that reminds me
how perfect
it could
be
the closest friend
I have ever trusted entirely
and could ever
hope to
never
lust
surprised that
I've fallen so slowly
and yet so
swiftly at
the same
time
embarrassed of
your belief that you and me
could never be
that 'we'
that its
impossible
saddened that
I must keep pretending
for our friendship
and you
will never
know
