Behold my love and friendship, merging into one
It was difficult the other times, and now it’s just begun
I tried to forget the feelings I had for you before
And now, it has all come back to me and more

You say you’ve changed from what you were before
You’ve left that time, you say, and behind you slammed the door
Giving your life to God, nothing like you were before
And for all of these great changes, I only love you more

Sometimes you try to fight it, but in the end you lose
You go out with other people, but only your heart can choose
It’s chosen you, my best friend, and I don’t want to kill
Our friendship that nothing can replace, but my heart won’t be still

You told me about your girls, your hopes and your dreams
When anyone rejected you, I sewed together your seams
You did the same for me, to my sad heart you sung
And you knew every secret of my heart… except for one

I’m sure you had suspicions when I looked into your eyes
Strong feelings like these can never be disguised
I always calmed your feelings, though, denying any love
Although I pray for you every night to God above

I know I don’t deserve your love, no matter how I try
To earn you love by changing, I still sit down and cry
Because I know that I can never have you in my arms
I know I will never be the target of your charms

In spite of this, there’s no one I’d rather talk to than you
Or look into any other eyes than yours of dark blue
Maybe someday the world will change, and we can be together
Until then, I’ll be your friend… always and forever

"Love heals everything, and love is all there is"- Zukav

what a poem, and it held so many feelings for me.   I know that friends and loves sometimes don't mix, but believe me, nothing is more precious than being and having a friend who will never leave no matter what.

I hope that is the person in the poems situation if this is non-fiction.
loved it.

LoveBug~
This one is straight from your heart and carries the sentiment
of truly caring for another.

Wonderfully done, dear.
But don't sell yourself short -
You deserve even more !

There is a lot of emotion behind these words
I hope that time will heal the hurt
Beautifully expressed, my dear

==================
Dont wait for the world to change LB...
instead ..let your love change the world...
or at least the little piece of it you and this person share..
lifes too short...dont waste a precious moment of it worrying about who will accept or approve...
beautiful poem written with sincerety.
you've expressed the emotions perfectly
take care

Some people find subtlety in strangers
if you find anything~let me in
Your eyes~you see everything
my eyes~I see it all together now~and I know
