"...As the rose petals begin to fall,
Upon my sleeping eyes,
I awake to sounds of shallow breaths,
Entwined with contented sighs...
Knowing she is so close to me,
yet still so far away,
I feel myself edging a little closer,
My heart begins to stray...
A thousand thoughts occur to me,
And i wonder if i may,
awake the sleeping beauty,
under the silk she lay...
As i run my fingers through her hair,
golden threads upon my skin,
A guilt falls deep upon me,
"to awake her would be sin..."
The building frustration deep within,
has me by the heart,
this love I have inside for her,
has left a tainted mark...
As i look up from my loving gaze,
Reality shows her eyes,
What reality shows me,
is who she lies beside...
Diverting my heart from its course,
I walk away and hide,
the salty tears run down my face,
showing a darker side,
My envy must be obvious,
as my heart is in her hands,
and whenever I try to claim it back,
it falls away like sands...
Before I know it the day is gone,
and my love is far away,
And all I'm left with is a single candle,
burning as it may...
It's light is so simplistic,
it craves only one thing...
the air it needs is the air i breathe,
and with that, the fire brings...
I would give my very last breath,
for that single candle to burn,
to let it feed on what it needs,
the same for me in turn...
"...And so it seems..."
She is the air that burns love's fire...
the only thing i need,
the things that hurts me all the most...
is he also needs her to breathe...
"...So i put my words to love...
and these words they go unsaid..."

The emotions are raw beautiful and immensely captivating and delight to the senses.The words are like honey and inspire tears in anyone who has loved in life.The pain of the plight of love unrequited and mutely burried under a facade of indifference or at best lukewarm friendship while passions hurl within a weeping heart the entire picture is a poem written with tears of the soul and i loved it in every way every word, evry nuance.Glad you shared,please take care...

I honestly think this is one of the most amazing and beautiful things I`ve ever read! Your friend is a great writer. I enjoyed the choice of words and could feel his love and pain as I read. It is sweet, creepy, painful, and happy all at the same time. I think the last line was my favorite:
"...So i put my words to love...
and these words they go unsaid..."
