For a Friend #2: mistaken

That night at the movie theater,

My heart was with someone else.

But I felt your shoulder touch mine,

And I felt restless.

What is this feeling?

What is my dead battery of a heart feeling?

And did you feel it too?

Do you feel like you cheated on your love interest

Like I felt I’ve cheated on mine?

Am I starved for physical affection?

Is that why I felt something I shouldn’t feel,

For someone I shouldn’t feel for?

The closer your face became,

The faster my heart awakes.

But it’s a mistaken feeling,

For sure,

Because you’re my best friend

And best friends do not, love, invoke.
