She says she just wants to stay friends
But i can't hide my feelings and pretend
I don't think about her every day.
My memories of her will forever stay
wedged inside my mind.
She just wants to casually date
but I'm always wondering about the state
of our "friendship". So I'll walk up to her door,
to ask if she wants anything more
but the second I see her smiling face,
I realize that I have no case.
For now, it doesn't need to be "official"
as long as it loving and beneficial.
Through many years of pain and strife,
I've never been so happy in my entire life.
and maybe, just maybe this loving friend
will still be with me in the end...

Always steady and stable; keeps moving forward.
Two hands on the move, but always pointing northward.
Around her sits 4 walls,
too thick to penetrate and too tall.

An eager student looked into the window from his corridor.
A rose grew at his feet, at the crack of the door.
He knew inside there was light filling the room,
because it's growing roses pushing through in full bloom.

Students tell him only a few are allowed in.
He should just give up and come join them.
He tenderly touches this fragile flower and thinks to himself,
"This may not be the hour but there are plenty of them left."

So I'll cherish this flower protruding into my corridor
until the teacher comes willing to unlock the door.
Until then I am happy knowing with each tick and each tock,
seeds of love are being planted near the light of her clock.
