A Plan to Protect.....A Friendship so Perfect

(If this is your plan to protect

I think I’ll happily keep pace

I know we have a friendship so perfect

For anything else, there is no space)

Three in the morning

I’m still lying awake

I think I’m missing something

That void makes me shiver and shake

I tell myself, girl let go

I tell myself to move on

But how do I deal with this hollow?

That seems age old but is just newly born

I fake a smile when chatting with you

I pretend not to be affected

As you narrate stories of your one love true

I give you ideas instead

Ideas to make her love you back

Suggestions to make things work out

I know there is nothing that you lack

I know there is nothing for you to be scared about

I try not to think of what was there between us

I try to figure out a way to ignore

Ignore the way we felt for each other

Just the way you started ignoring a while ago!

I knew we had something special

Something that you want no more

But that thing still goes on in a circle

An unending tale of love for sure

You know it still lies somewhere

You know you don’t want it to come out

I know you know that I am aware

And none of us will ever say it out loud!

But I can’t figure it out

I don’t understand what you’re thinking

When alone, I weep, I shout

Then crash down, blankly blinking

I know it’s pointless to ask you

You never agree to explain

What is it that you’re up to?

I keep wondering again and again

There seems to be no end to it

It’s better to leave it this way

I know you don’t love her, it’s just another trick

To keep our friendship protected!

May be that’s how it should remain

After all, that’s the way I used to feel before

Our friendship is too perfect to change

May be it’s the best to let it be so……
