We are just friends, right? That's what we are, right? That's what I keep telling myself while so casually Stepping over these boundaries Finding intimacy where it didn't live before Putting love into the spaces that beg to be filled with it Drinking your energy and swimming in it But just platonic love, right? Just people with similar interests, right? And that's what we keep saying So I won't tell you about how yesterday, My skin tingled and burned at the thought of your touch Or about the fire that comes to lick my insides when I'm around you so much And I won't mention that I think about you when the lights turn off (And you're so soft) And I won't tell anyone how last week, I came home Got undressed and pressed into the warmth of his back Still thinking of the way your hair falls around your face The way you laugh, the way you have no idea I feel this way Smitten by your beautiful presence, your addictive essence. And you bring me life You bring me poetry You bring me doubt and fear But only about these feelings being revealed And I wonder if it's real I wonder how long this fire will burn I wonder how to make it burn stronger without hurting anyone I wonder if you feel the same, if you feel that flame I wonder if it would feed the fire if we touched But I wouldn't, and I won't, because we're just friends, right? So come give me a hug, and I'll hold you briefly Letting go too quickly Because I'd hold you all night if you just let me You know, I realize suddenly That you remind me Of the first boy I ever loved My destruction, my muse And now, you're opening up all these wounds Except it doesn't hurt, it melts And it's not a wound, but a flower And the petals of my past open up around you And I want to heal all the parts of me He destroyed just by being with you But, you're not him And you're not the one I'm with And you're not committed to me And we're just friends Right? But nights like this one tonight I'm sitting here with two cups of you One of love and one of lust And I just keep drinking from both Wondering how I can still be thirsty But I am. I'm insatiable, baby I want to inhale your art Smear your music on my thighs Mix your essence into Shea butter Put it on my lips, and I'll Taste you every minute Taking hits of the drug of choice That fuels my voice And they'll ask me what keeps me going And I'll be honest and say, "My friends" You know? Do you know? I don't know I don't know how much self-restraint I've got to put on these feelings That seem so innocent But also so indecent Tell me, is it? Could the fire within human beings Human thoughts, human consciousness Could that be wrong? Should that be wrong? And now I'm bartering with my values Trying to make my intoxication with you Fit into my world view But you know, I will not cut this down For the sake of purity and morality Because, to me, you're as pure as can be So let it sprout roots below and fire above The ever-elusive passionate love Your spirit, I want to be near it I'll keep my proximity, say it's for creativity But the truth is: you swallow my entirety Spit me back out full of energy And most importantly You're not afraid to walk away from me And every time you do, I'm drawn to you magnetically You said once, your life's a piece of art I see it now. I get it! I'm marveling at your heart I want to explore your wilderness And share with you a tenderness I've only just imagined Tell me, have you ever felt like this? I did once before, got burned It's been twelve years, filled me full of fear Thought I'd never find that passion anywhere That's what everybody said "Love's a piece of tape You put in on, rip it off Then there's no escape From the dwindling of energy Settle for less now." That is what they said to me But now I'm free Mind limits removed; belief systems changed My world's on fire, and I'm screaming out your name And I tried to silence this, dismiss These feelings of eternal bliss Rip this poem in half, replace it But I can't erase it The feeling of this beat, the synchronicity So I make love to you through poetry The closest to you I can be Wish you were here next to me But what if by touching, then this all ends Then we'll wish that we just stayed friends Right? Well, at least you now know how I feel Feeling exposed, revealed But this, it shouldn't be concealed The world's full of illusions, but this thing, baby This is real
