"More than friends, less than lovers."
I have never truly understand that phase, all i know is that i never want to be in a situation like that. Just where are the boundaries? Just what do you call each other? It is friends acting like lovers or the other way round? If it's from being friends to more than friends and eventually going steady, i understand. It's just a normal process. But if it's degrading from a committed relationship to that, then that's a whole new story on it's own. It changes the rules completely, one can freely date other and no one can say anything about it. Feelings can fade away and before you know it, you'll find yourself being just friends. Just friends.
The worst part is, when it's from a committed relationship to being just more than friends and
only one party wanted that. "We're really good friends, that's all." To the other party, for a moment, the whole world was in a standstill, waiting for the poor thing to register what he/she just heard. And there it is, the invisible slap to the face, the imagined bat to the gut, words get choked up, eyes started to burn while the tears threatened to fall.
You said we can see other people, but you won't, atleast not now, because you have yet to find someone better. Does that mean, you're looking? You had given the permission to look for someone else but why would I? To you, we might be just friends and maybe a little more than that, but to me, I'm still exclusively yours. Something is eating me up inside as I start to wonder about things like will you introduce me as your girlfriend or friend? When someone ask about us, will you say it's over? It is over? Am I still important to you?
Are we going to be okay? All those thoughts, all those questions are knocking me off my feet, slowly killing my confidence and my faith.
I can't keep you if you don't want to stay.
I bet you're just shaking your head right now, saying how you are not worth it and all. But let's leave that for me to decide. I'm tired of convincing you otherwise but I'm going to give it another try. Nothing is meant to be, nothing is fated. Our actions are what set things in motion. I did not accidentally wear my socks that way. I wear it that way because i wanted to. I was not fated to stand there with my guitar. I did it because i wanted to. You did not accidentally walk up to me to comment on my socks. You wanted to. We spent so much time together not because it's fated, it's because we wanted to. We are only worthy of something because we want to be worthy, because we
made an effort to be worthy. I hope this make sense to you.
So just how did we get into this situation? I cannot recall, you know how bad my memory is. But i do remember one thing, you said you
have not given up. And me?
I ain't no quitter.
