I don't know how I got here
Or how I came to understand
I only wanted to be friends
With this caring witty man.

I heard you when you spoke
warning me to take care
I tried to keep things warm
But lately I became aware.

You dwell so often in my mind
It's your smile, I want to see
I shouldn't be thinking of you
In a way more than just friendly

Oh this is hard to say to you
But I think with all joking apart
You really mean a lot more to me
You are holding a piece of my heart.

I hold back, not finding it easy
The truth is that if you were gone
I couldn't manage the pain I'd feel
So promise me please ....to go on.

You are truly talented and I know this feeling you describe oh so well...and I like the ending, where it seems to me you say 'oh heck with it' and give in to your feelings for the friend.

I agree with everyone here.  I know the feeling all to well.  The ending seemed to be saying "I need you out of my life before I feel pain"

Thank you all so very very much. This one is a poem I found really hard to write as it contained so many mixed feelings. I am glad that you all understood it and felt it. Paul you are so right, it is hard and also it is not something I could bring myself to do. Sometimes it hurts to keep inside such feelings but it is necessary too.

Hugs and many warm thanks to each of you as you all gladden my heart with your comments and feedback.
