Late at night, when I'm alone,
and the silence closes in on me,
I weep quiet tears.

In the dark, they run down my cheeks.
If only you knew how you stir my heart.
I have loved you for so long.

How I dream of your sweetness
in my lonely room.
To feel your warmth close to mine,
your hair like down on my chest.

Your breath invades my pores,
infusing me with your vibrance.

This torture that I bear,
I bear in the secret places of my heart.
You will never know, my love,
the one who loves you best.

The friend you see
will never be the lover you seek.
It is written in your eyes,
like the sentence of death
to a condemned man.

Friend.
Only that.
Ever that.

I will worship you from afar
as I always have.
As I always will.

I will be your friend until
the final breath escapes my body.
And I am finally at peace.

Pegasus~
I really enjoyed this piece.
Softly wistful with longing.

love lets go peg....admire from afar, but dont keep too tight a mental hold..it is when we "forget", that our memories stir again--sometimes mixing into reality...  

good writing!  dg

Exellent words, The hardship tolls for the friend whom feels so much more. I hope she looks in your eyes and someday feels the fire inside.   Best of luck to you.
