You were just my friend
and I had to let you go
my real feelings for you
you will never know
You said we'd be friends forever
as you turned and walked away
right into the arms of another
I think my heart broke that day
If only I could tell you
what I felt in my heart
looks like I waited too long
I didn't even get a chance to start
I know it was her
that took you away
it really hurt me
but what could I say?
I wanted you to be happy
I didn't want to hurt you
so I let you go
what else could I do?
I never let you see
how I felt inside
when you came around
my feelings I would hide
Can't you see
I've done all this for you
you'd just feel sorry for me
if you knew
So I go on wishing
as I watch the two of you
Someday you'll open your eyes
and all my wishes will come true
But until then I can wait
there's nothing more I can do
I can't give my heart to someone else
because it's given all to you

Good job on the honorable mentions. Nicely done, love the last stanza, it's so perfect to fit the rest of the poem.

OMG, I can totally relate to that. It sounds just like em and my ex. I love the poem it was well written. Good luck in my contest and keep the writing up!!

oh wow this is so deeeep. I love it! >< I can't even spell correctly because it's so awesome. >_<. Okay so, I totally understand how this feels and I'm very glad that you entered it into my contest. I especially love how you ended it on such a note. It's the worst feeling to love someone who doesn't love you, but still try to be happy because they are happy with who they're currently with. I wish you luck.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it, it's kinda like you love them so much you would rather them be happy with someone else than lose the friendship that you have then you would have nothing and that is something your not willing to give up. Afraid of losing all, it's better to just take what you can get.
Thanks for the great comment and good luck with your contest!

i'm sorry that you had this happen to you. something similar happened to me about a year and a half ago. this guy i knew for like a year...well we tried the whole dating thing until he broke up with me for another girl. it's very painful. again, sorry that this had to happen. i don't know what else to say. i would suggest trying to move on, but it's understandable if you can't or it's hard to do. anyways, great write. good use of rhyme. it doesn't sound forced at all. i can tell a lot of emotion went behind this write. thank you for your entry. good luck in the contest and in finding happiness.

Thank you for entering my contest, and I really appreciate you following every rule that I asked for.
Makes my job easier so I don't end up deleting our poem from my contest. Anyway. I have one word: EXCELLENT!!! This poem reminded me of the person I liked last year, how I liked him, but he didn't like me back, but we were the best of friends. Anyway, It's a hard situation not being able to tell that person because his heart is with another. But you never know, they might break up 
and you might be that shoulder he cries on since you're friends, and then you'll be all "Open-mouthed" and tell him your heart's emotions, and he might feel better, and even give you a chance. You have talent, Ic an't imagine him saying no. Excellent work, excellent portrayal of emotions. Well done job!
Thank you for entering my contest,
Good luck.
Take Care,
