Destined to be friends...

by Walter   Mar 20, 2018


You know I think a lot about us
And everything that we've been through
And however many others we know
It's normally just me and you

The years that we have shared together
Through everything both thick and thin
Sometimes it's like you know me so well
I swear you feel more like my twin

Always have been there for each other
Through lost relationships of our past
It's strange how they are destined to fail
While our bond seems only to last

It's funny how we always laugh off
When questioned why we're only friends
To us it’s the way that it’s always been
And will be to the very end

But recently now when I see you
Why does it feel like I want more?
And though I swear that nothing has changed
Nothing feels the same as before

Although I would never dare risk
The best friend in life that I’ve made
This imaginary line I know I have crossed
The guilt on my shoulders seems weighed

Whatever decision that I now make
It feels like I can only lose
Never want to risk what we’ve become
So it's one that I simply can't choose

I'll just pretend that nothing's evolved
And create an emotional eclipse
But it doesn't decrease my desire for you
I still long for the warmth of your lips...

    "Create an emotional eclipse" ... brilliant line Walter and I loved the whole poem. It's really interesting how even crossing a line in your mind can cause guilt ... We've all been there I think! :-) x

      Thanks Kitty for your lovely comment and yes it is strange why we create these boundary lines never to cross in our minds. x

    I feel you Walter.. It is hard to have those kinds of feelings for someone we hold dear but afterall we're only human
