He and She


He said he likes her

She secretly likes him

 

He has many things in common with her 

She is only the friend

 

He confesses and gets rejected

She is there to comfort him

 

He thanks her and gives her a long hug

She becomes weak, wishing to never let go

 

He still thinks about her, but he's okay

She still thinks about him, but she's not okay

 

He playfully teases her one day,

She blurts out she likes him

 

He is shocked

She is shocked

 

He talks as if nothing happens

She goes with it, relieved

 

He then gently rejects her

She continues her friendship with him

 

A little heartbroken,

But that's okay,

She is only the friend
