My Love, My Friend

by Katy Nicholson   May 20, 2009


I do not know when to say I love you
Whether I'd be too early, or too late.
As if I were reborn, like a newly blossomed rose
I can finally feel the illumination of life.

Though, I am afraid
Not of love, not of pain.
I am only afraid of losing you
And I can only hope this bond doesn't become extinct.

A few things I will admit to;
You are on my mind all of the time.
I know you're always close
And yet I search for you, as if you were at risk.

Risks, hurt, and mistakes
They are things I am willing to make.
To save you, to be your hero
Because I know that you are mine.

I've endlessly tried to read you
To discover why I feel the way I do.
Yet, I haven't figured this out.
Why am I so drawn to you?
Why am I so moved by you?

You've probably heard it all before
But you're more different than what is said.
You've got my heart twisted in a knot.
My odd, strange heart,
My heart that pulsates for you.

This is all so hard to explain
Near you, I am so comfortable, so relaxed.
Though, my heart also skips a beat
And an unknown emotion washes over me.

Your touch is so careful, so delicate
And always so warm
When you kiss me, I can feel my lips tremble
And I have absolutely no idea why.

When we lock hands, our fingers interlaced;
I feel like I could cry.
I feel my eyes swell blindingly with tears
As they fall, and stain my skin.

This is the way it feels
The feeling of tears that aren't really there.
If I were to cry, it would not be of sadness
But of joy, for with you..
I feel like I don't have to be sad ever again.

I hope this hasn't been too overwelming for you.
You aren't just my love
You are also a friend
And you chase away all that is bad;
All that is prisoned within me.

If in my dreams was the only way to be with you
Then I would without a doubt sleep for eternity.
As if medication, I need you to properly function.
As if oxygen, I breathe you into me.

Don't ever bare your pain alone
I am here as your crying shoulder.
If you were to shed blood or tears
I would be there to heal your wounds.

Your smile enlightens my spirit
Your laughter gives me strength.
You lead me to discover
Thrills and chances I could take.

You are my control, my happiness.
My love, my friend, my peace
I hold you in..
