It Doesn't Pay

Hold her hand.
Touch her.
Does she smile?
Does it feel forced?
Does it feel strange?
It feels so right, but its not.
She can see that you like her.
But how does she tell you
That you’re just friends.
Things will get weird.
Things will never be the same if
You cross that line.
The laughter, the good times, the shared
Memories and history with friends.
Everything is gone with these few words.
I like you.
