This a letter that may never be sent
to the one for whom it is meant.
But now I need to write what is on my
heart and tell the truth that has lingered
in the dark.

For years I cherished a secret, and so had
you, a secret that almost everyone knew.
But I was left in the dark, and did not know
your heart was with God and not in this mortal
flesh world.
Not knowing that I went on in life, thinking that you were just the right guy. I yearned and pined for a love that was really divine
then came our senior year..time to tell all what was on my mind.

I asked you to prom, innocently enough with dreams of something more. But then you told me a secret that everyone but I knew. You were going to be priest.

shocked. sad. angry. That's how I felt.
But then the year went on, and soon we were walking down the hall, in caps and gowns, dressed and ready to leave our school once and for all.
We hugged outside, and said "Congrats, a job well done." But I didn't say it then.
I should have. But I couldn't. The love I had for you... had turned towards someone new.

But I'll say it now, so it can be said, and in the hall of words forever read.
I had loved you for so long. I dreamed about you, I wanted to hold your hands.. I had loved you for you were such a handsome man.

There its been said. Take what you will, it doesn't matter now for I will love you nevermore.

where rabbits and deer play, where hearts run free, that is where I am. Second star to the right and straight on 'till morning......

Oh, how sad that it turned out this way.
It's good to write it out,though.

(tears fall down my cheeks) This is so very sad, sweet friend, sometimes our destinies can be so apart even when we love someone. (sad sigh) I'm so sorry it turned out this way, sweet friend, and I hope that the love you've found now makes you feel just as or more special! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet lady, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

This is a very good piece, but perhaps more prose than poetry.
Write on

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
