What could have happened?
What indeed,
to cause the ill tidings,
that you will soon read.

Was I too outgoing?
Did I not say things right?
Am I just not that important?
But I tried to be polite.

I thought I was on top,
top of her list that is,
suddenly that changed,
it lasted like fizz.

I am her best friend,
I really care for her too,
she says she cares for me,
but it's not coming through.

My worries, my fears,
my emotions to her I tell,
that used to be her concern,
but lately I just get "Oh well."

I hold her dear in my heart,
and I tell her it a lot,
she is scared of that,
and returns the feelings not.

I wish to be her sweetie,
and to her, my love I send,
this has happened to her,
and now he's her ex-boyfriend.

So it is understandable,
why she fears my affection,
she doesn't want to lose me,
over a relationship imperfection.

But what about friendship?
A best friend is nothing to fear,
why reject that closeness then?
I thought best friends were dear.
