Love Untold, Friends Unfold

I wanna be your lover, 

I don't wanna just be your friend,

Love you now until forever,

And be yours until the end...

So how did we get here?

When I'm all flustered by the tension in the air

When all I want is for you to show me that you care

We aren't lovers, and we are definitely not strangers,

That means that we are friends,

So how did we get here,

When I'm all flustered by the tension in the air.
When we first crossed paths, it was purely platonic,

But little did I know, our bond would grow iconic

I have been weathering storms, lost in life's maze,

And you've become a friend, extending your grace

Through kindness and care, you brought solace near,

And I found myself drawn to qualities so dear.
Your politeness, thoughtfulness, and attentive ways,

Has captivated my heart in each passing phase

Damn, that one fateful day, when everything changed its hue,

A simple gesture altered how I saw you

As we shook hands, something shifted in the air,

And when our gazes met, I felt a connection we both shared

In that lingering stare, emotions were unveiled,

Leaving me breathless, my heart truly assailed.
I never thought I'd see you as more than a friend,

But now I'm afraid, uncertain of how it will end

You've become distant, cold in your demeanor,

Leaving me hurt, my heart growing leaner.

I miss the comfort of your presence, so true,

Like calm blue waters amidst wild thoughts that accrue.

But now I stand here, 

Longing for the days when we'd laugh 

Without any fear.

How do I undo you? 

How do I turn back time,

To a version of me before you, sublime?

When a simple wave would suffice to say hi,

Without the weight of these feelings, 

Have seasons changed,

Should I prepare to say goodbye?
Yet, I'd rather have our friendship, amicable and strong,

Than lose you completely, for that would be wrong.

We might not be Dre and Sydney, 

Bound by hip-hop, a taste of brown sugar

Or Dante and Gabby, aspiring for a love like Martin and Gina

For friends who turned into lovers, shared tales of their own,

Let's cherish what we have, like those on the screen,

Even if we never become a thing

Let's preserve our bond, like a garden we've grown.
Maybe I'm on that Ryan Leslie, addicted

Maybe like J Holiday, you should be with me

What's not a maybe, 

Is that you are the calm in the storm of my strife,

And I am grateful for you, in this thing called life

All I need is for you to be there,

We aren't lovers, and we are definitely not strangers,

That means that we are friends,

So how did we get here?

When I'm all flustered by the tension in the air

When all I want is for you to show me that you care.
