"Do you really wanna find the one? Or are you happy just to lead me on?"

I would save a seat for you around me if you were late, just like any other friend would. Maybe I was in a stage where I hadn't realise that for me our friendship was taking another turn because I used to refuse any allegations made by my old friend in my previous city when I told her about you. 

Your small habits like one where you ever-so-intently focused on someone when they were speaking, the squinting of your eyes when you laughed had begun to pluck a string of my heart, creating a rhythm I so ever wanted you to sing with. I would shake these thoughts off as soon as I became conscious, knowing it might completely ruin our friendship but if only you knew how hard was to keep quiet whenever you joked about how I should introduce you to the girls I know, in order to get a girlfriend.

I would laugh at you at those words, explaining how it doesn't work like that but deep inside, it slightly hurt when the truth hit me— that we were just supposed to be friends.

Looking back, maybe I should have told you about it earlier. It would have been so less painful.
