I stare in darkness at the man across from me.
His eyes are closed and his face is relaxed.
While I lay awake he sighs in dreams, the responsibility to grow up now catching up with him.
12 hours a day and other friends to see I 'm surprised he stayed the night with me.
Like always he's even more tired from making love,but another like always I'm wide awake thinking of our futures...
With fall approaching fast and it's college for me and the Navy for him.
I've never told him how I feel and he'll never tell me how he feels.
We've been friends for 3 years and only now have we begun a new aspect in our relationship.
He seems so guilt ridden at times, but I could never regret what he's brought to my world.
My mind starts to cloud, sleep trying to over take me.
I snuggle closer to my friend fast asleep he drapes his arms around me and pulls me closer and whispers "go to sleep" I kiss him gently and whisper"ok".
A thought speeds through my head should I tell him how I feel...But, no it would ruin everything and I drift off dreaming about the man next to me
Only happy to be in the moment because tomorrow means back to the harsh reality of friendship.
