More than a friend is less than a lover

And all of a sudden you appeared again
With the intention to be a friend
And I forgot, and welcomed that and more
Cause this time, you seemed to nice to ignore

So we started to take it slow
Me longing for, to get to know,
The person behind that eager face
First impressions, yet to be replaced

And then you shared and shared
And I thought you really must care
Cause I felt bonded and so close
To your stories, your past, your soul

And what I got from all this
Is the craving for a good night kiss,
That was announced but never came
According to my pattern: I am to blame..

But all these songs I gave to you
Have you ever read their lyrics through
If you did, you would surely see
That caring is a part of me..

Thoughts kept me in our boat
Assumptions and desire made it float
Yet it never really arrived
Sinking to the ground,
of another wasted try

But don’t worry cause I don’t regret
The things I said that night in your bed
My heart pounding out of my chest,
Knowing I have lost you,
after giving my best

I may have touched only on a few places
And I may have left only a few traces
Yet enough, I think I discovered,

Wasn’t I more than a friend,
But less than a lover…?
