What I really mean to say
I love you
I want you
I need you
But when I try to say these things
They never come out the right way

I chicken out
I run away
I hide from what I really feel
So you never even know
What my words are really about

I am scared to make a move
You are something I really don’t want to lose
I can’t wait forever
By then you will you be gone
My love to you
Is something I need to prove

I miss my chance day after day
I don’t want to ruin what we have
But I know I want more
How will I find the courage
To tell you what I really have to say

Some say its already too late
We have been “friends” too long
But I melt when you hold me
And I freeze when you stare in my eyes
I smile when my name leaves your lips
Maybe we just need a lil help from fate

But maybe fate is waiting for me
Just to say what I really want
To let you know how I feel
Because if you need me
The way I need you
You would be the one
To set my heart free


Smile!!  You never know who may be falling in love with it...

I know exactly what you are feeling and
have found myself in that position.
You got to do what you feel is right,
in order to respect yourself and calm your
mind, go for it.  If you guys are tight good
friends you should be able to stay that
way (that is if things don't become more).
Trust yourself and do what is right for you.
Good poem by the way, you express yourself
really well.

Good luck,
Jen

Ahh, a very hard sistuation, indeed.  Get the guts to tell him how you feel, girl!  I promise... you won't regret it.

This is a very well-written poem.  You expressed yourself well, and the frustration is evident.

GOod luck with this... and I hope to see more from you soon

The best relationships start as friends
It's better than dating someone you don't know
though you seem scared, tell him
as you said, nothing is gonna happen unless yo do
thanks for sharing

Nikki, I've been in your situation before, and I think you've expressed it very well here.

Well, the advice most friends gave me was to let him know about it, coz who knows? He might reciprocate your feelings. But then, the fear of losing that friendship forever hangs right over your head like a huge boulder.

I guess, you just have to read his actions and decide for yourself if there is a little chance that he might be in love with you. If there is such a chance, then go for it!! Tell him you love him. But if you don't think so, I'd think it better to be kept a secret, else your friendship might be jeopardised.

Well, that's only what I think.
