‘Cause We Were Just Friends

She was broke. 
She was in a lot of pain. 
She was shattered into a thousand pieces. 
She needed help.
More than help perhaps. 
I was there, but could not. 
I wanted to drink all her worries. 
I wanted to light up her dark world.
I wanted to kiss away her every pain.
I wanted to fill her every void with my endless love. 
I wanted to touch her every scar and make them go away.
I wanted to stick back all her broken pieces with my warm embrace. 
I wanted to put a warm cosy blanket on her, so that she could sleep tight. 
I wanted to tell her that she was the most amazing woman I’d ever known.
But I could not. 
Because we were just friends.
