Love Poem: On the Job

On the Job

I fell for people off the job
and I'd tell him about these people
once the job clock turned on
we are friends first
so I never suspected
what lied beneath
the feelings that I 
I won't digest 
because he knows everything
about me. 

He says whatever
happens I'll be just fine. 
Him just being him I can 
count on all the time. 
I don't know when it happened
but somehow over time 
he's the one who makes 
me smile when I got let down
by all the ones I fell for. 
But what happens when you'd
rather stay friends than wreck
something that could possibly 
have a beautiful ending. 

He doesn't suspect but
he'll be one of those guys 
that I'll always wonder what if with. 
What if I'm missing my happy ending
And it's been in fount of me all along
That's a thought that scares 
the living daylights out of me
that's a thought that could do
some harm
