Not our time, not yet

I’m standing in a moving bus

You’re on the pavement outside

Time slows down on my end

Speeds up in yours

Similar emotions

Different time frames

You were the first to fall

The first to break

You didn’t know

Didn’t have a clue

That

While you broke your heart over me

Mine was busy being shattered by another

I was breaking

But you

You brought me pizza

With pineapple on top

And I hated it

You loved it so much you ate mine too

I laughed till I realised I was

First time in weeks

You turned me away from the edge

You were there

So clear right in front of me

And yet

My eyes were too blurry with tears

You knew

It wasn’t our time, not yet

We made a pact

We’re best friends

I love you

Just

Not that way

I don’t want to lose this friendship

That’s what you told me

I agreed

I believed you

But you didn’t know

That what you didn’t want to lose

Is what I wanted so badly to

Because I

Was

Falling

I wanted more than this

But you didn’t

The pact was made over pizza

With pineapple on top

I still hated it

I loved you

But I knew

It wasn’t our time, not yet

You were drunk when you said it

It meant nothing

As all drunk words do

I was leaving in two days

It was a celebration

Of friendship, Of love

Unrequited

Love that had grown every moment after

Yet remained unknown to you

Until

You told me the same

I didn’t believe you

You said you never stopped

I didn’t believe you

You said you loved me

More than pineapple on pizza

I didn’t want to believe you

I lied

When you asked me the next day

I lied and you forgot

And I never told you

It was’t our time, not yet

It’s been a while

Since my heart skipped

A beat

That smile

As you walk towards me

We’ve been through a lot

Through life

I was married once

You never tried

You knew

We both knew

You were pretending that night

Because you remembered

How could you forget

How could I forget

You’d only had two shots

I was your best friend

Still am

I know everything

Is it our time yet?

You ask me

I smile and wrap my arms around you

The way I’ve always wanted

Since the day you brought me pizza

With pineapple on top

I say

Yes, yes it is
