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

That’s a nice piece. I read it twice. Nice write good read
May I ask how you know?
The line "my feelings are probably one sided" suggests you have not declared said feelings
Heartfelt
cos im gay and he probably isnt and he just wouldnt like someone like me so. i probably wont declare these feelings cos idk how accepting he is, but im still deeply in love w him and its caused me a lot of pain (keep an eye out for more poems in the next month ive got quite a few more lined up lol)
So is the fear of rejection more powerful than the pain of the moment?
There's that probably again
We got to know where we stand bud
You will figure it out
Keep writing
