Longing Embrace

You worry at the sadness
you see in my eyes
I still cannot tell you
after so many tries

This secret beds within me
with every breath I take
I hold it silent from you
for what forgotten sake?

You offer me your arms,
your friendship's embrace
If anywhere I'm to get better
that is the place

Is it true so comical
to think of us atwain?
Is it true I love you
so honestly in vain?

I long to hold and love you
in every heart-felt way
Hoping for that ending
I endure another day

Not in mere friendship
do I hope to embrace
But with lover's endearment
and all your love's grace
