I don't really like
people like you-
who run from the truth
and hide behind three
layers of lies...
But you've never been
anything but good to me...

I don't like knowing that
I could fall in love
with your smile
and your
convictions
only to be overlooked
and left behind...
But you've never been
anything but honest with me...

And maybe that's why I know
that I am your friend...
the other girls
are just 
conquests;
silly flirtations that
occupy conversations
as soon as they leave the room...
And maybe that's why it 
shouldn't hurt so much
that you respect me...
But you've never looked at me
that way...
