I Love You, My Friend by Lynn Smiley
Shall I run or hide
And die inside
Or pretend
That I never knew you, even as a friend?
Can I go back in time,
Before your hand was in mine,
Or erase the kiss,
That I will forever miss,
Or forget your eyes
That seem to hypnotize?
Can my mind erase
The feel of your embrace?
How can I forget all of this
And pretend it doesn't exist?
I want you to know one thing that will never end -
my love for you. I love you, my friend
And die inside
Or pretend
That I never knew you, even as a friend?
Can I go back in time,
Before your hand was in mine,
Or erase the kiss,
That I will forever miss,
Or forget your eyes
That seem to hypnotize?
Can my mind erase
The feel of your embrace?
How can I forget all of this
And pretend it doesn't exist?
I want you to know one thing that will never end -
my love for you. I love you, my friend

Wow ! these words are so touching and yet so real and thus too far for us at this very momemt. but because of these words, it will makes want us more then to embrace on a journey of time and faith. I await your touch day and nite, the fingers are not enough anymore, yes the hours we spend on it , has brought us together-now we wait for that finale moment of our eyes to melt. Thank you and you know who you are. love to you - Angel |

Why do some friends, walk away from you when you finally disclose your feelings that you have been bottled for so long? Do they deserve our braveness and love? Did they ever realized how much it cost us? - zel |
