"Just Friends"

by Becca Morton

I told myself time and again that there was something there
It’s funny how we can be so blind when the answer is completely clear
I wondered if there was some kind of next step.....

Being with you was what I W A N T E D
Holding your hand made it A L R I G H T....

But sitting all alone at night....
Wondering if a relationship would work...
Wanting to know how bad breaking up would hurt...

So I let go of all the lonesome nights...
Thinking to myself that letting go was right...

I turned my back on all my feelings and closed the door...
But now I realize...
That being “Just Friends” hurts me so much more

And a great example of how we learn from our mistakes; pain has it virtues too. An excellent example of what can happen/go wrong to the rest of us. Kudos!

Ahh...man oh man have I felt this pain before! Sometimes the 'just friends' is the most painful part but in my experiences with it, it's how I learned exactly what I didn't need in a friend. *HUGS* and awesome job here!

How many, as I, can walk in your shoes. Well done Becca. It is alright if you want to shout at me and call me a male chauvinist pig. I hate it when the woman gets hurt.
