Gray Areas
We were fine, you and me
whoever said guys and girls couldn't
be friends was crazy
We hung around and gave high fives
I could not picture myself wanting anything
more than how things were.
At least that's what I thought
until I blurred my vision
and got caught up in the gray spots.
I started to think about your smile
and how your dimples sunk in
and the funny things you'd say
suddenly began to linger in my head
It started to become apparent that
I though pretty highly of you
and the girlish giggles were starting
to come through
What happened to the beginning?
Video games,movies and television
I want you now and I hate it
because this isn't the guy-girl friendship
that I originally envisioned
Why did you have to be so damn right
for me that words cannot describe?
It's hard to ignore something
when it's right in front of your eyes
desperately screaming to be recognized
I didn't want to see the possibilities
because now that I do
I can't even claim you because you
belong to someone else.
Who knew?
