Three Thoughts

Probably friends, possibly lovers, but definitely not nothing
Those were the three thoughts in my mind the first time your path crossed mine
When I saw those bright brown eyes for the first time
Then I learned your favorite color 
And realized how easily you could paint a smile across my serious disposition
I started practicing learning you
Thinking about you a little to much in my spare time
Then the three thoughts changed
Probably lovers, possibly friends, but definitely not nothing.

Then things started to change 
I realized the love only went one way
I started anticipating the feeling of you pulling away
Your sentences became shorter
As my grip became stronger on a love that was falling through my finger tips
You took my smile as easily as you had given it
Then the three thoughts chimed in my mind one more time
Probably nothing, Possibly friends,
But definitely not LOVERS.
