Needed someone so badly
\nthat you swallowed your
\npride and called them
\ndespite them not feeling
\nthe same<\/p>\n
Been in love with someone
\nthat you can’t have, because
\nsomeone else already got to
\nthem first<\/p>\n
Went out of your way to
\nspend time with them,
\nbecause you care for them
\nor simply because you love
\nthem<\/p>\n
whether as a friend,
\na potential spouse
\nor because of the unique
\nspot they alone fill in your
\nlife.<\/p>\n
I can’t tell you how I feel
\nBecause I’m so afraid that you’ll
\nridicule me
\ntell everyone about it and
\nlaugh<\/p>\n
Don’t tell me there’s a chance for
\nus-
\nif there’s truly no chance
\nDon’t play with my emotions
\njust to wind me up and hurt me
\nI don’t deserve that.<\/p>\n
I’ll take your friendship
\nIf that is all you can offer me
\nI don’t want comfortable lies
\nI’d rather have brutal honesty<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
