"We're just friends"

So I have finally written and finished a song, after many tries I have finally done it. Now, this being my first song, it's no piece of musical geniusness at all. Nor is the recording quality on my Dell top notch. But like all big things, I wanted it to be documented, and wanted to share it with all of you.

This song I started writing before I left for my trip and finished when I got home. I wrote it about falling for your friends, which is always complicated. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's experienced the "Oh no" moment as you realize you really are crushing hard on a good friend, and the dread that follows because these things never seem to turn out well.

This is how it usually goes, at least for me:

Step 1: You realize this has been accumulating for months. "oh no" moment
Step 2: Once you realize it, the crush gets exponentially worse. Awkwardness ensues whenever you see this person now.
Step 3: You get really close to telling them a numerous amount of times, you back out every time.

Now Step 4 can go three different ways, all of which have happened to me before:
a) You start dating. Either you had 20 seconds of courage, or the other person caught on and you were lucky enough that it worked out
b) Something happens, you are forced to "fall out" of love with them. Pout around for awhile. Move on.
c) You've been waiting a long time for this person to catch on. They are about as observant as a 5 year old watching cartoons. Before you know it, it's two years later, and wow, I don't like them anymore. When did that happen?

So this was written about the plight of falling in love with a friend, and all the confusion that comes with it. I was in a Stage 3 crush at the time this was written. I don't really know what to call it, for now I'm going with "Friend-Zoned."

You can view it here. That's all :)

P.S. A good friend told me that what we want is not always what is good for us, and she was right. Thanks, doll.
