I knew it wouldn’t work
We were too good of friends
For that.
I didn’t LOVE you
Like that.

It lasted maybe a day.
You held
My hand.
But we both KNEW
That it would
NEVER, ever work.

I LOVED someone
Else.
You did
Too.

But now everything
is WRONG.
I wish we could go back
To before

To how it used to be…

I went out with this guy... yuck. it didnt end well. I remember the last thing he's said to me this was last april. "Sorry It's just that I don't think we would work as a couple." then he walked away! OMG! Do u know why i walked up to him? to say how weird we were as a couple and to say that we should still be friends!
