The friend you fall in love with...

He's my best friend and he shares his world with me,
I am the only person to see this side of him.
We are closer than close but I have a secret,
I secret that I can not share; not even with him.

I love him, I love him so much I want scream,
Every glance from those emerald eyes and I melt.
I love him, and with every friendly hug,
I want to stay cacooned in the saftey of his arms.

Every time I walk away from him a deep blush colours my cheeks,
What if he's figured it out, what if he knows?
I run back, praying he hasn't figured it out,
but in the still of the night I long him to know the truth.

But he'll never love me, he can't.
He sees me as the sister he never had,
Someone to confide in and joke with,
But not someone who will complete his life.

The hardest thing is that he tells me he loves me,
Its a daily occurence followed by one of those amaizing hugs.
In my mind I want to scream; Yes I love you too!
On the surface my friendly smile is ready to crack.

But that is the pain you have to live with,
When you suffer from unrequited love.
And its the pain you I to live with,
because he's the friend I've fallen in love with.
