Just friends

15-11-09
Do you remember the night I put my hands
on your hips and you brushed your finger over
my lips and then we let them meet but you
pushed me away, and whispered ‘just friends’,
And that’s the biggest punch line I ever heard.

‘Just friends’ turned into ‘with benefits’
and we spent the night between your sheets.
You kept whispering like you were convincing
yourself just as much as me ‘just friends’
And I think I pretended not to hear.

From best friends to the bedspread,
Never ever works and I should’ve known
when you whispered ‘just friends’ what I was
getting myself into, from best friends to
with benefits never ever works, and you
and me as just friends can never work again.

And in the morning, in your arms
felt like the perfect place to be but you
pushed me away ‘I have to get home’
I knew your parents were away but I let you go,
I think I hoped to convince you later.

Bu later came and you touched my hair
but you still said ‘just friends, remember?’
How could I forget that night and you murmured
‘I thought you’d be okay, you’re always saying you
want to be alone’, I thought I did.

From best friends to the bedspread,
Never ever works and I should’ve known
when you whispered ‘just friends’ what I was
getting myself into, from best friends to
with benefits never ever works, and you
and me as just friends can never work again.

So now I’ve lost my girlfriend, my best friend,
Not to mention the best sex I ever had,
So now I’ve lost my girlfriend, my best friend,
Lost her that night in the sheets when we agreed
to be ‘just friends’ but from best friends to having
to whisper ‘just friends’ is a transition that kills,
And never fails to fail.
