Wish we could be friends again

Before I saw rainbows
In your eyes and 
Bloom of roses in 
My heart.

There was an island 
Where we could casually 
Talk, laugh, cuss and
Gossip.

There wasn't anything 
Special about the things 
You did.

Not receiving a call for
Weeks wasn't an issue.
Even talking to you
For hours didn't build up
Any expectations.

Then a fantasy grew.
Things changed.
Our island got infested  
By butterflies.

And when you ask why 
Can't we be friends..
I don't know what to say.

The dangle of earrings, 
Carve of your lips.
God! How your smile is
Enchanting these days..

I wish I can ignore 
The strands of your hair 
Caressing your cheeks.

I wish your persona
In the black attire 
Doesn't hamper my
Heartbeat..

If you can tell me
Convincingly why the 
Hell we can't be a thing..

I'll tell you exactly why
Can't we be friends 
Again.

Till then adios my
To be or not to be 
Friend/lover with an L.
