From the very start, when I met you
I gave you my heart, you always knew.
I couldn't tell if you felt
The same way,
You kept it hidden.
I never could
Bring the courage to my soul
To say it out loud,
I never could.
But you always knew.
You made me laugh,
When I was so sad.
I don't know how,
But you made my world brighter.
Now I say
That I love you.
It's always been easier
To write a letter
Than to speak in words.
I have so many,
Stored away
Waiting for me to give them to you.
But I probably never will.
Because I can't say it.
I could tell you
But I'm to afraid
That you'll turn me away
but you still know
And you always will.
Because of my actions
I am here to tell you now
That I do love you,
But I don't know how.
I wrote songs and poems, for you
You read them for me.
I would watch as you read them
Trying to see if you got the message
That I was trying to say
I loved you.
And you always knew.
You never told me
How you felt about it
It was something you'd hide
But you always knew.
If you're reading this now,
Can you tell me soon?
I really want you to know
That I can always love,
Always.
But you always knew.
I do love you still,
I see you every single day
I'm longing, yearning to tell you
But I can't, for some reason.
And you always knew.
You always knew I loved you
You always knew I cared.
You alwasy knew I spent my life
Wishing you were there.
You always knew I wondered
Where you were and what you would do
You knew I couldn't help it
You knew I was in love with you.
And Always will be.
I love you, Deco.
Author notes
The last verse, the long last one, was a rhyme & rythm poem. The other parts are freeverse. This is truly how I feel about my best friend.

This was a sweet write, full of truths, I think.
I especially liked
It's always been easier
To write a letter
Than to speak in words.
It's very true for me too.
I do like the idea of the repetition, the
But you always knew.
Because it reinforces what you were trying to say.
In love with your best friend? That's a harsh place to be... -

Amazing!
This is such a beautiful and well written peice. The strong emotions and deep sentiments are so delicately and passionately expressed and well illustrated by the layout (which is really pure and smooth and really brings the dialogue to life as though it is being spoken). I love the use of random verse / line lengths because it conveys the deep passion the words hold at their core.
The delicate way you add details of times and events and realisations in especially beautiful and pulls the reader in in.
Excellent work!
