So true. Sometimes it can be difficult being "just a friend" of someone who you have fallen for. This write was emotionally driven and really allows the reader a glimpse of what you experienced. I loved the descriptions and how vivid the imagery was.

"I could wake up
And dream you're here
Standing by my side, with tears in your eyes
And I'll catch them in the palm of my hands
I could even wash you free
Whisper, I love you
But I'm just your friend
So I'll wait for you
And go right on pretending"

This stanza, I felt, was especially powerful. It touches on the most difficult part of mere friendship, wanting to tell them how you feel and yet, knowing inside that it would be irresponsible of you to put that on them. Absolutely wonderful job. 5/5

Thats a sweet poem and enjoy it alot.
