As a million thoughts race through my mind
and time and circumstances slip
through my clenching grip
I sit alone
And indulge myself in my last fantasy of you.

Wishing that just one time
You would have come home
and lain down beside me.

And in those heated fractions of a second
I would shed all misgivings
And let myself get lost
In the wonder that you are.

Friends are simply lovers without the sex.

Friendships are simply an excuse
to love someone forever and never be afraid
of losing them.

But I am leaving,
And you never spoke up
When I needed to hear you the most.

But I always will love you
And I promise I'll visit
If only for a night of akward drunken silence
In which we try so very hard not to scream
A hundred promises,
A thousand endearments,
A trillion lies
Just to break the silence.
Knowing or just hoping
the other will do it first.

And when you come visit
And you see our life, our home, our bed,
Will you wait until you're alone
In the dark of night
To shed a tear
And play out the alternative ending.
The one where the lovestruck friend
Realizes just what he's losing,
And like some desperate Romeo
Opens my door
And steals my breath away
So that we can sleep together for all eternity.
