Sugarcube

Why, just why

Did I fall twice

for my best friend,

who's an irresponsible idiot

and frankly not a perfect match.

My heart and my brain are at odds

I'm making sure my brain is winning

although it hurts me to say no for the umpteenth time.

You'll always be my best friend

first and foremost

above all else

even developing a crush again.

My parents disapprove,

but say I'm entitled to my own mistakes

so here we are going on just a couple dates.

Just one more date before the thirteenth

before I start college without you.

A clean slate.

I'll go out with other people

and try to step away

from your arms that feel like home.

I don't know what I'll do

if I fall for you yet again

I don't think I'd have the strength to pull away

once again.

Sugarcube I hope my heart can slip away

but still be your best friend for all our days,

I want to be the best man at your wedding

when you finally mature.

It's hard to tell you no again

but I'll love you forever

as my best friend.
