Who You Are

by Dannilee   Apr 19, 2007


How can I tell you?
How can I tell you how I really feel?
I'm so scared.
I don't want to hurt you,
But if I don't tell you,
You might get hurt even more.
My mind is telling me no,
My heart is telling me yes.
If I tell you I'll hate myself,
If I don't tell you I'll hate myself even more.
I stare at you from across the room,
You look over towards me,
I jerk my head away.
I can't even look you in the eye anymore,
You smile at me,
I see it out of the corner of my eye.
I smile too,
But probably not for the same reason as you.
I'm so happy with him,
But I know you want him too.
How could I let myself,
Let myself fall for him?
I knew you liked him,
But I fell anyways.
I look at him and then back at you.
It's like some kind of triangle.
He looks at me,
I look at you,
You look at him.
I finally get up the nerve to tell you,
I go to you,
I stutter at first,
After a while I just let it go,
I tell you everything.
You continue to smile,
I don't understand.
I thought you'd be angry,
I thought you'd be sad.
You hug me,
I start to laugh,
But not at you,
I laugh at me.
How could I have thought that,
How could I think you'd be mad?
Of course you wouldn't,
You of course, would understand.
For you are my friend,
More than a friend,
You are a sister,
A sister I never had.
My best friend,
That's who you are!

This poem I wrote out of boredom. I was sitting at the computer and I just started typing and it ended up like this. It does have a good moral now that I read it though. The moral being that if their a true friend to you they'll put your happiness before their own and understand. Well....hope you like it! Please comment and rate this poem and my others. It'd mean a lot to me! Thanks!
