The Truth

You want me to share you
but I don't want to
I am not ready to release
the fantasies of us
of the couple we could be
of the partnership we could have
of the lovin we could make
of the intimacies we could share

I am not ready
to relinquish all of that
to acknowledge this friendship
will never be romance
to announce to my heart
what my mind always suspected
I am nothin more
than your friend

Its selfish I know
immature, I admit
but the truth
is what it is
and I,
I am not ready
to let go
