Just friends

Just friends, no more
and if we pushed too hard
it wouldn’t be the same
we’d inflict pain
and after sex
we'd have our first row
and everyone would know
we’d gone too far somehow
and soon we’d hurt the ones
who are always last to know
and then we’d loathe ourselves
and hate each other
for taking things too far
but then it’s all too late
we’ve dealt the blow
we’d walk away
and never speak again
to the friend
we never got to know
