There's been so many nights
Where I've laid awake and imagined
How my life would be,
If I could summon the courage
To admit to these feelings
And set my heart free.
You've always been my shoulder to lean on.
My steady sail through the storm.
The one who wipes away my tears.
The one I've always adored.
You've done so much for me
Time and time again.
I love everything about you.
I don't know where to begin.
I love the way your eyes light up when you smile.
So dark and so very deep.
When I am around you
You make me the person I want to be.
I love the way your voice fills the room.
The notes flowing from your lips.
The way you danced into my heart
And showed me all that I've missed.
But my love arrived too late.
For she got to you first.
I put on a smile to hide the pain.
You have no idea how much it hurt.
It's not your fault.
How could you have known
About this new found love I feel for you?
Something I've been too afraid to show.
To you I'm nothing but a friend.
Someone to call upon in hard times.
To share a few laughs and late night talks with.
Nothing too defined.
For some reason I keep on wishing
For something I can never have.
Praying for the stars to change
And just give me a chance.
I guess we weren't meant to be.
Friends forever we will stay.
Through love, pain, joy, and despair
I'll be there all the way.
Still there's something that I've learned.
Some good has come of this.
I've realized some things are better left unsaid
And our friendship isn't worth the risk.
Please comment on this poem. It'd mean a lot. Thanks
