Eyes on Mine
  He told me he wanted to put it behind us
  But that look in his eye I can’t soon forget
  Still I feel hands and lips on my chest and then lips crushed against mine
  My chin is still red from his stubble
  I feel different
  Do I look different?
  Girls are so soft
  You just want to pop them
  But my throat is still dry from the day before
  I have had bottles of water but thirst remains
  He said it felt incestuous-
  we were such close friends
  And I feel the same
  I do not love him, that way
  Nor do I think I ever did
  And if he speaks the truth then he feels the same
  I don’t want to lose our friendship to this
  He keeps me grounded here
  He is the only one I have
  I do not rely on him for much though
  I never thought about his lips that way
  It was fun
  Comfortable
  Maybe more than it should have been
  I felt there was nothing to lose
  There was nothing to fear
  But I do not want to be with him
  Or for this to happen again
  I see him only as a friend
  He was such a good one
  It would be heartbreaking for that to end over this
  But the moment of weakness
  Is lasting more than a moment
  And I haven’t seen him yet today
  And I can’t decide if I want to
  Because if I feel his eyes on mine
  I’ll feel them everywhere else
