Tonight…

They say that love and fear
Can’t live in the same heart.
When a person falls in love,
Fear doesn’t play a part.

They don’t know how I feel
When I’m with you and when I’m not.
The way I lose myself in your eyes,
Getting lost in thought.

They don’t know what it’s like
To have three days of heaven.
Then suffer with this hell until
We’re together again.

They don’t know how it feels
To fall in love with your best friend.
If, by chance, we don’t make it
Will I lose your friendship in the end?

I know that I love you
And that you need to know it too.
Tonight, I will give up my fear.
Tonight, I give in to you.

It matters not how strait the gate;
How charged with punishments the scroll;

I am the captain of my soul.

I trust that you mean these sentiments my friend?

Good verse with a message I agree with.

Yes, I mean it. I broke down and told him. Had to be the hardest thing I've ever had to do.

Tara, the emotion in this poem is incredible (just like the author!) You are so dear, I truly hope your love is worthy of you.

If he is NOT I am going to physically harm him! (I am so protective of people I care about!)

Thanks for sharing your heart with those of us who are so enjoying watching as you fall in love.

Jules, Ruth, and RG: Thank you all for your comments. Jules, I think he's most worthy of my affections. If I ever discover he's not, you'll have to stand in line for the physical injuries because I'll get him first!
