let's just be friends (poem)

I recognize the look in their eyes:
my presence is a promise of romance.
they tell me not to break your heart
how many times have we gone down this road now?
Our hearts battered and beaten – and tired
of all the chaos romance has brought,
wouldn't it be nice to leave that behind?
Let's meet up and chat over a cup of coffee
longing glances absent, no confessions of love;
I want to defy their constant expectations,
teach my heart how to take a break
even though you're sitting across from me.

-Zero
