I look into his deep brown eyes And it’s as if I am looking into forever I lose myself in him Does he even realize it? Can he see what he means to me In my eyes of clear blue? I often wonder if he knows How I really feel way down In the depths of my being Or if my feelings for him Will ever be reciprocated To show his true feelings Perhaps time will tell Love could blossom Out of the friendship We’ve forged through the years But that will always mean the most to me Knowing he’s my friend He seems to be there Whenever I need him In times of joy to celebrate And in times of sorrow He reaches out to comfort me With the simplest gesture I should tell him What that has meant to me Just knowing he is there Offering unending support Without me asking or telling That I need him right then He and I are in tune With each other He knows when I need him When I want to be left alone When I mean it And when I don’t If I am down He cheers me up With a look or a joke Anything to make me smile Before you know it We’re laughing about something He has helped me see the good In the world around me And shown me that through helping others We in turn help ourselves No obstacle is out of reach As long as we have each other I don’t know what the future holds But I do know he’ll be my friend Today, tomorrow, always Through good and bad When I’m happy or sad Just as he’s been all along Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Such a nice friend, would probably be a great love. Beautifully express! A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes. |

So many kinds of love, and this is the hardest, having a friend you love so much, you wonder if you want to love them as a lover and not a friend. I have been there, and it is a scary place, and sometimes it backfires. I am so glad you love him as you do - don't forget to always tell him, as you only pass this way once! Wonderful poem, I really enjoyed it. ~*~A poet is someone who reads more than they write ~*~ |

walker . . . Thank you, just my dream I guess. Temptress . . . Nothing else is necessary. Thanks. Kathleen . . . What can I say? Life is good these days. Thank you, thought I'd try something different for a change.  Amy . . . Thank you so much. I am glad to make you smile any day. You take care too. It gets better, trust me. Mysteria . . . It is scary, but I think if the friendship is true and strong it can withstand anything. Thanks for the advice and for reading. Sharon . . . They sure are a treasure. Voiceless . . . It is great and I am content if it just stays that way. Thanks. suthern . . . You never lose with true friends. Thank you!

Well, the first few lines asks the question does he know? My guess would be no, as he is a man and they hardly ever seem to. But as I read further on, it sounds like this is one of the rare ones, so maybe he does. What a lovely poem, and a wonderful friendship you have here. Sandra |

Lone Wolf I loved this poem, To me words to often are not said, and often we just think he will know how we feel, by our eyes, sometimes though those words have to be said. |

Before I go to work, I have to say you are a very open and honest person, sure, tell him, most times I approach a lady and say something and she immediately thinks it's a come on....you are probably afraid he'll misinterpret it and most times men want friends too, and yes, sometimes it is possible to have a "friendship" without all the rest. Tell him he's a great friend. I would but I don't know him Dennis |

Your words reach out to me. You have such a fine talent for sharing your precious heart and in this one I smiled knowing I was reading your heart beside your words. Great one!  KateGenuine poetry can communicate before it is understood. T S Eliot |
