Friendzoned

It was I who loved you first
In the way a girl loves someone older;
But in love, you weren't well versed
You thought I was just seeking a shoulder
To cry on
A chest to lie on
Someone to depend on
Someone to spend on
my time and energy
We lacked the synergy
Of people in love.
We were friends
But just barely
Just only
And that's how you friendzoned me.

It took 17 months for you to love me
And for 3 we were happy
But then the end came suddenly
Unintentionally
So completely
- For me -
That I could no longer love you
The way you loved me.
But we stayed friends right?
Who spoke until midnight
And kissed under starlight
But it was never the same
We had lost our flame
We didn't have our love
Just a meagre residue
And that's how I friendzoned you.

Thinking about it now
Our love was never fair
It was never square
More like octahedral;
Because we were never equal.
One of us always had more power,
Had the other's heart
Could make them cower
With a threat of losing Us
And losing out.
Friendzone?
We'd hit a dead zone
Our love was in its endzone
Together but still alone.
We can't be friends
But we can't be more.
