He Never Said I Love You

 

The truth is he never said I love you.

I cannot deny that I share the blame.

I found comfort in his arms but well knew

His affections for me were not the same.

He told me there was nothing I couldn't do,

Made me fall in love by being my friend.

His words were kind, but they didn't prove true - 

His heart proved one wall I could not transcend.

When my own broke for him like a lover's

And I prioritized tending his needs

He told me we were no longer brothers...

As I think of that moment it still bleeds.

My friends shook their heads, they didn't get it,

But I loved him and lived to regret it.
