My emotions run dry
As you walk through the door
Seeing you hurts me
And yet, I still can't have you
She says she feels bad for what she's done
I reassure her that it's fine
That I'll get over it
Yet, she still cries and feels bad about it
You know I've been hurt before
I even told you about what my ex did to me
Yet you still flirt with my heart
Coying at my fragile emotions
I cry out in anger
But it's ok
I'm just a fling
That's been put on the back burner to be forgotten about
I DO have feelings for you
Yet, do you have feelings for me too?
Lately, I don't know anymore
I feel like I'm a ghost or I'm invisible to you
I just don't know what to do anymore
So I've come up with a plan
Grant it, I despise the idea
But it comes down to this
We need to quit flirting with each other
You are not mine
And I am not yours
I love hanging out with you, but this can't go on
So, you see where I'm coming from
Friendship is more important
Than what we've been donig lately
So, I live with the fact
That you and I will never be
So listen to my unsteady heart
And see if it's still beating
