Unplanned

Once, one day, I had nothing to do,

So I decided to talk to you.

I couldn't have imagined, I couldn't have known,

That this was the beginning of a friendship anew.

Slowly we got to know each other more,

Until it was you I did adore.

I really liked you, but I didn't know,

If you wanted me to be yours.

I couldn't hold my feelings in,

So I confessed the feelings within.

Though your feelings were not the same,

Our friendship stuck through thick and thin.

Then one day, you had to leave,

And I didn't let you see me grieve.

I thought it'd last, but our friendship faded,

And I realized that I was naive.

Before I didn't know you, barely noticed you,

But now I'll always think of you,

I smile, remembering how our friendship was unplanned,

And wish I'd made more of my time with you.
