Tell me why I feel this way,
And why I can't tell you.
I feel things for you
That I've never felt for anyone,
Yet I can't tell you.
I don't know if you feel it,
And I can't ask you.
I'm willing to take you
Anyway I can get you.
If I can't have you as mine
Then I want you as my friend.
I can't tell you any of this;
I'm afraid I'll lose you,
I'll lose your hug
And the sweet look,
And the care you have for me.
You healed me with your hands
And with your mind
I want you to love me
With everything you have,
The way I feel for you.
But I can't tell you.

Aww. This is really sweet, but it's kinda sad to if you really think about it. I love it. I feel this way about someone. He is one of my best friends, and I am completely fine with him as just a friend, but oh how I've wished many a night to have him as more that just a friend. hehe. I love him though just the way I have him and I wouldn't want to take the chance of ruining the relationship we already have. Anyways, wonderful poem. I enjoyed reading it very much. Keep up the awesome writing!

Splendid
Tell this person how you feel or you may never get the chance to do it again. You won't lose your friendship by doing this but you will both gain a whole new understanding and probably see each other in a different light. Your poem was wonderful. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Thank you for sharing and best of luck in the contest.
