We Are Just Friends
January 12, 2022
Yeah, just friends.
That is all we were.
Sure there were some deeper feelings,
but they were never yours.
I really, truly thought
we could be something more.
Your presence always ensconced me,
but that was just the power of friendship, of course.
My heart was utterly shattered
when I heard you say those four words:
“We are just friends.”
The most hapless thing I‘ve ever heard.

This piece was written about someone whom I shared a very close relationship with, and developed feelings for. However, they did not feel the same way. I think this poem could be very relatable to other teens, because a lot of us are feeling very strong emotions right now, specifically in terms of romance.
