I scroll through my phone
To see someone catch my eye
I text them to reassure myself
That they will never be mine

So many people pose
Pose for the camera or the audience behind
Who sees them when they upload
The world inside this tiny box of light

I'm shocked by her appearance
Completely at a lost of words
Leaving me weak in the knees
This feeling is truly absurd

I look at her and smile
Feeling all kinds of hurt
But I just grin and bare it
How else is this supposed to work

Glancing at the screen I remember
Remember how much fun it's been
Always being there for each other
Too bad I'm just a friend

The wind in her hair
And a gorgeous pearly smile
She's all I need in the world
Forever I'm stuck in denial

To give to receive
To receive to give
I expect nothing in return
Except to be a friend
Someone that you truly need

A person that will support you
A friend fueled with all the love
Love hidden in the depths of their heart
Stored away for you to walk happy and free
