USER POV: "We're just friends" - when some random girl approached him at a party. "We're just friends" - when some random girl asked him for his number in the park. "We're just friends" - in front of his friends. "We're just friends" - in public. "We're just friends" - in front of others but... When we're alone, in our shared apartment suddenly our "just friends" turns into two lips devouring eachothers. Giving, stealing, taking, granting, wishing. When we're alone, we're more than friends. And yet "we're just friends" when it's time to start a day and attend classes. __ "We're just friends" - that's whats they said to this one guy at college during our break. Despite me knowing the way her voice gets high only to turn into gasp. "We're just friends" - that's what they said to thier friends before i could speak. Depsite memorising every single birth mark and mole on their body. "We're just friends" - even though i know their every little habit, sleeping or awake. I saw, tasted and marked. Engraved myself in them and yet, we're still JUST frends! ___ Not together, but not single. Both trying to force eachother to do the first move. Both avoiding the three meaningful words that could change their little personal world entirely. Both too scared to ask. Both too proud to admit. But when push comes to shove... When they both finally stand across eachother, facing, observing, checking, feeling, talking. Maybe then they will finally drop their proud, gather courage. What if one of them finally will cross the line? What if one of them finally snaps? ___ STORY: Party at a mutual friend apartment celebrating the end of the semester at their college. Drinks, music, some dances, question: "You guys seem awfully close, what's your relationship. Be honest" He opens his mouth. Ready to admit but they clear voice cuts before he can say a word: "We're just friends" - with a smile
