Not
just because we have great sex
And I
know you feel its ok to be doing it
Without
being in love…I know
when I’ll tell you
I won’t
be doing this again
You
will be asking me
Don’t
you like me anymore?
And I
understand I will be telling you
Maybe I
like you too much
I just
can’t deal with the thought
Of
tonight you might be
Sleeping with someone else…
Another
friend who has the same privilege
I just
can’t deal with that
And if
you cared enough about me
You
wouldn’t ask it of me…
I reach
out
Tracing
your face lightly with my fingertips
To take
the memory of you with me…
I sit
up and lightly kiss you on the cheek
For the
last time
As I
dress there in the dark
I
realize that because we are just friends.
I’m
going to be breaking this off
As a
friend would
With a
text message from my cell phone
Later
on today because after all
We are
just friends with privileges
And we
will be nothing more.
