The wind whispers in my ear
but it sounds just like your voice.
It repeats those words that tore me up the first time.
"Just friends." it says coldly.
And the tear burns as it takes the long trip down my face.
Makeup smeared.
Face swollen and rosey
but it doesnt matter anymore.
You were the only person i ever tried to impress.
You don't care so why should I.
Every time you smile i get lost.
You see me stare at you in class, not even blinking.
but you don't think it means anything.
"Just friends"
The words burn my heart,
breaking me down.
But you don't think it's your fault
Because we're just friends.

The emotion is so rich and so vibrant that it almost jumps from the page. I've been here and when you love someone that looks at you as " just a friend," it's one of the single most painful things that can happen. You expressed it so well here! Good luck!
