Just a Fling
It started out so fun, so new
we didn’t define anything
because that complicates everything
it was just a fling.
But our nights got longer,
our laughs got louder,
then we slipped up
and fell in love
You could see it in the smiles
could hear it in the voice
with every touch it was clear
but nothing was said
It slipped out like a secret
through your breathy laugh
neither one of us expecting to hear it
I love you
we didn’t know if it was true
or just the moment
that lead to this declaration
But it was done
Maybe it scared you,
so you took the first step,
I just followed your lead
and we locked eyes
and with a sad smile
we started to back away
from what could have been,
and we could have been
