just friends

you ever have that one girl that you knew was right for you
and its obvious your right for her
but for some reason, it just cant happen?
its like at first, when you just met, it felt like you've known each other forever
everything just flows so right with her
that one girl you can be yourself around and she wouldn't mind.
later, you know all about her and she knows all about you and you guys are like best friends.
you feel like there's a thing going on between you two but in reality its only you
even if nothing was said between you two, it would still feel just right.
you're there for her whenever she got hurt from some other guys
saying "she deserves better" when you really want to say
"I'll treat you better then him"
but somehow she doesn't see it.
you're afraid she doesn't feel the same way about you so you never let it show.
why?
"why cant you give us a try?"
everything we need is right in front of us,
but she just wont take it.
you're afraid of losing that friendship you two hold
and secretly so is she.
you finally build the guts to tell how you feel
and in an attempt to keep your friendships
she says its "best if we stay friends".
but after that happens, it can never be the way it was.
and we end up losing what we tried to save.



how do we break this cycle here?
