Just Friends ?

You say you want to be just friends .

But do you mean goodbye ?

Is that the easy way to end 

The wish without the why ?

You owe me nothing, as I owe 

You equally, and yet 

There's something in the undertow 

I cannot just forget .

There's something lovely like a song 

That's waiting to be heard, 

Or like the feelings that belong 

To some unspoken word . 

And so with you I cannot simply 

Smile and stay aloof .

I take the risk of asking frankly 

For the untold truth .
