"Friends we shall be"
Your face caught my attention,
as it did many,
so I thought maybe
we could be friends.
Friends we became and you surprised me with yourself,
different from what I assumed,
something that made me think,
I wanna be his friend.
We love the same God,
I had no idea where you were on your walk with Him,
so it seemed a good idea,
to just be friends.
As time went by, my eyes would search for you voluntarily
in crowds, waiting, hoping, longing,
and the sound of your name,
could trigger my heart to miss a beat.
Your silent laugh, the words you speak,
sets butterflies in me,
and I find myself happier,
whenever you're around.
It was then that I realized,
I've fallen and am stuck in fear and uncertainty.
Maybe I shouldn't have wanted
this friendship to happen.
Seeing how it's often me
starting a conversation,
it should be a sign telling me
we should just be friends.
Scared that how I feel about you
is different to the way you think of me,
I convince myself everyday,
we should just be friends.
Fear of rejection, trust issues with guys,
and due to other factors,
I think either way,
we should just be friends.
Even though I wish for a hand to hold,
and envy when my friends are out on dates,
I'm not ready to step out of my single life, and so
we should just be friends.
My love for languages changed my choices in friends,
but Korean or non-Korean you are,
nothing should matter and still,
we should just be friends.
Knowing how this might just
be another empty crush like in the past,
I think to myself,
we should just be friends.
The girl you liked, where your eyes followed,
I tried being her, and made her my friend,
thinking you might notice me, and you did,
as her friend.
I don't regret cause I gained a new sister in Christ,
and grew to understand myself more,
and the hard lesson that,
we should just be friends.
A hug or a handshake from you I avoided,
for it would have been harder for me to
say it now, that
we should just be friends.
Making friends with your friends,
so that I could hang around you more,
I think your friends also would agree,
we should just be friends.
Thinking of what the future holds
maybe our paths will never link,
so obviously it should be that
we should just be friends.
You don't know who you are,
and I know you don't need to,
cause I will force myself to understand,
we should just be friends.
I don't want to go back being strangers,
and scared of being too close that
it's hard to leave one day, so
Let's just be friends.
