Marigolds

Why do I feel that I cheat when I talk to other friends?
Called you by a nickname
That's normal I guess
But I miss you when you're away
Didn't I just see you last Saturday?

My birthday is up in a few days
Teased 'cause I wanted to call you
Asked if there's an us
What do I disprove?
He's our friend just one that I'm close to

All the times I was called pretty, didn't count til you said it
Sweeter than your nickname
Is it really that platonic?
Jokes about our crushes on Valentine's Day
If you had to pick one I wish I was your date

And I wanna stay your friend
I'm not trying to change that
But you're my fleeting crush
The best one I've had
Adorable face and your soul blesses me
You thought of her first and that ruined me

You asked what I thought about orange marigolds
Happened to be my favorite flower
Says it's gotta be special cause roses are old
Her presents we picked together

Same invite but I chose not to go that day
Lied to hide that, we're friends like we say
But none of them turn red at the thought of you
Ask, and I'll deny what else can I do?

All the times I was called pretty didn't count 'til you said it
Sweeter than your nickname
Did we make it that platonic?
Jokes we're both single on Valentine's Day
If you could redo it, would you make me your date?

I'll always stay a friend
I can't ever lose that
Don't be my first love cause I want us to last
Face an angel who else could it be?
Singing your discordant harmonies

Correcting your friends who keep saying we're a thing
Would it be that bad if we were?
"Sad thinking about that crush of yours,"
Oblivious to your words

But I'll be first to let you go
I'll pick out another present for her
Won't hold you back from the girl you deserve
'Cause just sharing you, it leaves a hole

I could never hear "You're pretty,"
I'll remember when you said it
Carnival lock screen on yours will you forget it?
When we're both older on Valentine's day
Would you ask me to be your date?

And I'm still your best friend
If you'd call it that
Too fragile too young to lose what we have
Sense she'll receive your 143
But I know my worth
So I hope you're happy
