Playing it Cool
I'm trying so hard to play cool.
Because after all we're just friends.
There's nothing more than that,
At least that's what we tell each other.
You show up at my house,
Sit on my couch,
Our legs brush each other and our knees settle into careful touching.
We laugh, talk, watch tv.
Nothing special,
We're just friends.
I try to play it cool.
Not letting on how I really feel.
You'll never know that I just want to cuddle up next to you.
Or that all I want is to have your arm around me.
No you're not supposed to know that.
Because I'm just trying to play it cool.
We're just friends after all.
You mention you should probably head back.
I get up to walk you out the door, and say by with a mouthful of cookies.
You hug me hard.
Squeezing my insides out, like a big-bear hug.
I say "Bye" .
While trying to swallow the waves of butterflies attempting to escape from my stomach.
Because I'm just trying to play it cool.
We ARE friends after all...
