Was it too much to ask?
All I wanted was a hug.
But now I’m stuck in the hole I dug.
What’s left of me upon the surface?
My true self must be erased.

What was I thinking?
Liking someone like this…
My ship of emotions is sinking
The captain is blind as a bat.

A hug, a confession.
Love, an obsession.
An obsession not for me.
I only want you to be free.

It was too much to ask
A hug from him.
My light is dim.

Our friendship must suffice
I want to be his sacrifice.

~Friendship is no substitute for love~
