I Thought You Were Shy

Contributed by Ballella on Friday, 2nd July 2004 @ 10:01:02 PM in AEST
Topic: LostLove



It's over between us,
I understand...
You want to be friends,
I"m not sure if I can.

In friendship, we never gave voice
to the feeling
That attraction between us,
was slowly revealing
Senses I dared not identify
Suddenly I couldn't deny-
The butterflies-
The desire inside-
Mirrored in your eyes-
But I thought you were shy.
And now I'm wrapped in emptiness
you can't comprehend.

Our friendship was enviable...
With laughter, we'd scream!
We were incredibly close,
Or so it would seem...
In tender moments, you turned off the lights
Made love in the darkness and I,
I thought you were shy-
I now realize why...
In the darkness I'd lie,
With you by my side-
And you would hold me;
And you would pretend.

The most painful of all,
the shocking surprise?
The ease and frequency
of your comforting lies.
I'm Angry! I'm Hurting! I want to know WHY?
Why I fell for your guise...?
I thought you were shy...
You turned off the light-
The dark did disguise
Your emotionless eyes...
And I fought for your affection,
until the bitter end.

Three years of friendship
in a moment, dissolved...
Where would we be,
had we not gotten involved?
I used to be so outgoing and bright-
'Til you reached inside me
and turned off the light.
That night I cried...
You never replied.
I remember when I-
I thought you were shy...
And I was someone
you once called your friend.

It's over between us,
It wasn't my plan...
I thought we were friends,
but you won't understand...

This is crushingly painful.
That is the worst kind of betrayal.
Keep writing. You will learn much from the sadness and move on to better things.
