Saluting with misty eyes

As I sit here late at night
And think of all that has come before
I know that there are words to be said
Thoughts to be shared
Drinking with the Captain
Vodka all around
Easing my pain, causing yours anew
You've been the best for which I could have hoped
And yet, it seems, I am not enough.
I say friend, you say love
But it's not enough, it can't be more
I am in sorrow for the pain
You want your prince, yet I am but a frog
He's out there, Dear One
Waiting, Hoping, Dreaming, Praying
For someone as special as you.

I apologize in advance... this isn't my best work. It was written for a great perosn, and she will understand.

Wonderful, well written poem. What a pity, however, that frogs parade around as princes, first off.

Continually causing heartache for their motives too often are in their pants.

I think a tatoo right across their princely foreheads: I'M A FROG....
would be the fair and honorable thing to do.

I do think this well written, and never know if this is a real on-going experience. Though you said it is for a friend, which part they played is unclear, but, doesn't matter.

We've all lessons to learn and and this clearly is an important part of love life which you've captured well.

OK, so now you want another POV?
Frogs are totally cool. RIBBITT!

You have an honorable heart and mind.
