be no lover

she'll always call you

friend

even if there are

oceans

of feelings

encapsulated within

her

she'll take no risk, she

promised herself this

and maybe if she

wishes long enough

the waves of warmth

at the sound of your

name will disappear

and maybe she won't

break if you call or if

you don't.

she'll play it safe,

she'll deny you as

lover

and reject you as

soulmate

she'll convince her

world that it isn't fate

and when she sees

you face-to-face

she'll force the seas in

her to still;

she'll use her power,

she'll beg her will

that before it ends,

please pretend

he'll be no lover

he'll just be friend
