Broken Valentine

I've been looking for somebody,
To stop this pain inside.
It seems that I have found him,
And I finally feel alright.

He understands my worries,
And he lifts me when I'm low.
He tries to be there for me,
And through him, I can grow.

My whole life seemed to bust,
Until our eyes did meet.
From that, I lost your trust,
But love was a gain for me.

I should have told my daring,
Secret to you in advance.
He was so sweet and caring,
I thought I'd have a chance.

But the truth started calling,
The moment he said yes.
You found out about me falling,
And I fear we aren't bests.

I didn't know you liked him,
I thought he could be mine,
But I guess that was a whim,
And he's a risky Valentine.

The risk I lost was you,
The one I called a friend,
Because, to say the truth,
I don't want my love to end.

I'm sorry that I hurt you,
But please don't try to steal.
I fear there's more to lose,
Like a love that's real.

(I wrote this poem for a contest where the person is finally in a good relationship, but their best friend is trying to steal their lover from them.)
