We can\'t be friends
If we were to try, I would struggle too much
I\'d try to say “I like you” but I\'d jumble my words up
Leaving an awkward gap that you wouldn\'t be aware of
How can we be lovers if we can\'t even be friends?
Let alone my feelings are probably one-sided
Why did past me hate you? It only made things worse for current me
When we first met, I tried my best to like you as a friend
But my brain had different ideas
Now that I look back, I recognise that was probably a crush
I just hadn\'t realised it was because I still thought I was straight
I got over you then, leading me to become friendly with you
So why can\'t I get over you this time?
If only we could make this work
But it won\'t because this love is not reciprocated
This love is one-sided, just like in the novels and movies
I never thought I\'d live out a shitty romance trope, yet here I stand
Unrequited love spilling from my heart
