Probably friends, Possibly Lovers
But definitely, Not Nothing.
Those were the three thoughts
In my mind
The first time your path crossed mine,
I saw those eyes for the first time
I wanted you to be
mine.
Then I learned your
favorite color,
Realized how easily you could paint a smile
Across my serious disposition
I started practicing learning you,
Thinking about you a little too
much in my spare time.
not so, all the time
The Three thoughts changed,
Probably lovers, Possibly Friends
But definitely, Not Nothing
Then things started to change.
I realized the love only
went one way,
I started anticipating the feeling
of you pulling away,
Your sentences became shorter,
As my grip become stronger
on a love that was falling
through my fingertips.
You took my smile as easily as you had
given it.
The Three thoughts chimed one more time,
Probably nothing, possibly friends,
But definitely, Not nothing.

Wow, this write started out on a happy now, the possibility of something, the re-occurring 3 thoughts, amazing concept. But then this piece turned sad, yet stayed with the concept of 3 thoughts. The poem style being free-form allowed the reader to truly understand the phases, the time. Very well written.
Thank you ♥
Superb writing.
