Better Untouched by Chole
I look at him,
And a smile grows in my face.
Just to remember the times,
When he could've been mine.
As he gives me a hug,
While he puts his arms around me.
I remember what I would've gave
To only have a chance with him.
But now I see him,
In a different light.
Yes, he still means the world to me,
But now its a different way.
His friendship means a lot to me,
Although we never had much anything else.
Now I see why God doesn't answer all prayers,
Because some things are left better untouched.
And a smile grows in my face.
Just to remember the times,
When he could've been mine.
As he gives me a hug,
While he puts his arms around me.
I remember what I would've gave
To only have a chance with him.
But now I see him,
In a different light.
Yes, he still means the world to me,
But now its a different way.
His friendship means a lot to me,
Although we never had much anything else.
Now I see why God doesn't answer all prayers,
Because some things are left better untouched.
This poem is for one of my good friends. I love him to death and wanted more from our friendship, but he would not see to that. I haven't seen him in a couple of months, than just this month, I ran into him at a carnival. As he gave me a hug, I looked back on the good times we shared, and this is what I got.

| Just like the author of this poem i have fallen for my best friend, i know i will never have the courage to tell him what i feel but no matter what we will always be friends. Sometimes when you look at someone you realize just how much they mean to you, but you also realize that friends are friends and nothing else. - Mary Jane | |
| okay. wow i loved this poem it is exactly what i was going through. it took me such a long time to realize how when you think it would just be so right for these two people to be together, and it would be so awewsome if he or she were yours. and when you look at him or her you used to get jealous. but over time those feelings fade, and what is left is a bond so deep that you are so happy in the end that god did leave it untouched! thank you so much for writing such a fantastic poem - erika | |

| This poem is absolutely beautiful. I've been trying to figure out a way to express my feelings toward a friend and this is perfect. When we moved to different colleges I was unsure of my feelings, but now I have realized that things could never work between us as more than friends and I will always love him more than anything in this world and would do anything for him. But I could never tell him how I felt because I was afraid of losing him, so things just have to stay untouched! Great poem. and thanks for the help! - Erin | |
| Hey Chole- i love this poem it explains everything that i am goin through i am soo in love w/this guyz and i can't tell him:( - Me | |

| oh my god, i just realized everything that's gone on and finally what it means because of your poem. my best guy friend and i have gone through exactly what this poem describes. i love him more than life itself, and i always will. i guess what they say is probably true."it's better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.'' great poem.i can't tell you how much it means to me to read it. keep up the great writing! - kim | |
