Rare Beauty


I saw her again today,
looking just as fine as ever.
I wonder if he truly appreciates,
a love he should cherish forever.

I find myself spending more and more time,
enjoying her combination of beauty and intelligence.
As time goes, our friendship grows,
more & more her having a man is losing its relevance.

I know I shouldn’t have these thoughts,
for someone who belongs to another.
But the more we share, the more I know,
I really don’t care about that brotha.

I bite my tongue, because I don’t have a choice,
I have to respect that she belongs to another.
But I’m sure she can see what I’m unable to hide,
this rare beauty has inspired this brotha.

I’ve loved; I’ve lost,
yet I yearn to love again.
Lord please grant me the strength,
and show me where to begin.

I enjoyed this one. You've worded it well, but the situation is definitely ticklish. I hope this is fiction, or trouble is brewing.

It's the safest way to honor her, from a  distance. Enjoyed the write, and the emotional constraints.

Ah, she knows ... yes she knows.

But please know this, she must feel safe with you or else this "knowing" would make her run away.  So you are definitely being a really wonderful friend to her, hope she appreciates you.

Yes, she has hinted that she know how I feel and we are still friends today...
