Just a friend

Just a friend,
You grabbed my hand and for the first time I didn’t feel so alone, it was as if we were the only two people that existed in that very moment and it warmed me to the bone.
As I felt your gaze, I could’ve sworn my heart had stopped and all i could hear was that damn clock.
 tick tock tick tock.. it was like it was mimicking the rhythm of my heart beat  like when we were at the concert when those fireworks had started to pop. 
You pulled away from my grasp and suddenly the world started spinning again, my heart rate went back to normal and my head was filled with you and only you… but we’re just friends, right?
I caught you staring, we locked eyes and the butterflies started to spiral, all I wanted to do was lean in and kiss you on those very soft lips.
You leaned in and held me by the hips, as your stare felt stronger I started to feel like I was in a state of love sickness.
Your eyes had this magnetic pull, a pull that was simply too strong for me to pull away from.
You smile and tell me how much of a good friend I was… but do friends hold each other.. Like this? am I really just a friend?
I think to myself as she’s still staring at me, with those eyes, oh man her eyes were jaded green with a hint of ambition and curiosity.
I couldn’t help but imagine our life together if I just confessed but that’ll never happen, because I am simply just a friend.
