Just
Friends
You want to be Just
Friends, you say,
Just friends,
friendly and serene,
You want to stay in
contact, but
You must tell me
what you mean:
Will you walk with
me,
Your eyes on other
men,
And not take my
hand, never
Clasp my hand
again?
Will you tell me
stories, love,
Your adventures in
the world,
Your days and
passion nights,
All for me,
unfurled?
When you look at
me, love,
Will your eyes be
blank and cold,
Will you see
nothing there, and
No one you could
wish to hold?
How shall we talk,
my love,
If not in whispers
and in sighs,
How ever shall we
talk, my love,
After our goodbyes?
