Saving 'friends' for last

When you see me for the first time of the day, do you swell and burst with unbidden admiration? Do you find it hard to hide that slight crimson blush that slowly creeps into your cheeks when you say "Hey"? Does your stomach clench and unclench, making you sweat, causing your breath to come in short panting gasps as you catch sight of me from across the room? No? Well, I didn't think so. After all we are just "friends" right? It doesn't matter that I want to grab you by your gorgeous face and caress your tender lips with mine until you feel lightheaded from the passion and the rush. It doesn't matter what I want, it only matters what I'll do. I'll lightly touch your arm as I pass so I can get my daily fix of touching you, and casually say "What's up?".  Maybe today will be the day you'll notice that my hand lingered just a moment too long, and my grip was just a little too tight. Perhaps today you'll notice that my smile widens just a tad too fast whenever I see you approaching, or hear the almost inaudible sigh that I give way to when you smile back. Could you really be so innocent of how you devastate me, and constantly invade my senses? I'm given no other choice but to assume that you have no clue, it's not your fault that you make it so easy to fall for you. I wish that I could explain to you my passion, but would that change our friendship? Let's just start something anew, and put our friendship on hold. Let's pretend that you don't see me as "one of the guys", and that you want me like I want you. This time let's save the friends phase for last.
