Andrew you’re not mine

I’ve longed to hold your hands

Your giant muscular hands

Always hoping-

At school

With friends

At the mall

At the movies

At the Zoo

In the dark

With you.

The reasons are not clear to me

I never understood why

We never became more---

You liked someone else

We’re just friends

You’re better as a friend

You don’t want a girlfriend

You’re not alone

You want to be single

You're gay.

I’m sure some day I’ll understand

But not today

Andrew you’re not mine.
