Can We Still Be Friends? by Kathleen Sheppard

I was cold and hurting
lost out in the night
wandering and searching
for heaven's light

I saw the night sky clearing
when you spread your rainbow wings
But little did I know
what joy you would bring

From that moment on
a friendship did start
you kissed away my tears
and sheltered my heart

I bless the day God
sent him from above
But then I grew fearful
for I had fallen in love

I told you this feeling
and what did you say?
You said you liked our friendship
and that's how it would stay

I cried for a friendship I thought I lost
But then felt your warm, gentle hand
You then whispered in my ear
that by my side you'll forever stand

	It's simply beautiful. I was really surprised, I was just browsing to find a poem to send to my best friend, who I have fallen in love with, even though I knew what he has to offer me was only friendship. The poem consists of every characteristic I find in him, and sort of the words he speak. I think our relationship is a live example for this beautiful poem. - Mahes
	I really liked your Poem it was great. keep up the good work. - Sarah
	Hmm. well its very emotional and painfull poem i ever have read. i miss u my best friend and my 1st love. its true friendship often ends at love but love at friendship never. just hope might be she again come to my life as a friend like she was. thinking on the past finding mistakes all are the way of life. anyways its 100% true all that has written in this poem. all credit goes to author, - Umer
	that is just what i just went though. i liked this guy but he did not like me the way i liked him. - Me
	I really love this poem it really touched my heart when I read it and it reminds me of something that has happened to me before I used to really like this kid and everyone told me that he liked me and then when my friend asked him if he liked me and he came up to me and said i only like you as a friend and it really hurt me when he said that to me but i realized that sometimes friendship is better then love and sometimes you can ruin a friendship if you try to turn it into love - Tay

	i thought this poem was very good i loved it very much - britt
	now thats a true friend. who will stay there and won't let anything get in the way. - brand
	I read the poem and I thought its pretty tight because I guess a lot of people including me can relate to this poem. yes, at first both of you meet, then you become friends and unexpectingly you fall in love with your friend, and it does hurt but you should also think that if both of you love eachother so much as friends then both of you must have some time for eachother to talk it over and come to an agreement that best fits both of your happines, TRUST ME even though you don't know me because I whent through this with a really special guy, Omar, and to this day we're still cool with eachother I mean he has his girlfriend and I have my boyfriend. This is why I like your poem and took some time to wright this to evcourage people to not only read this but to think it through a little too. - Celi

Thanx bunches 4 writing this, I write poems but i cant share them becuz im too afraid people will laugh. I give you 110%! u deserve a standing ovation or something :) - Kerry

	This poem is really very touchy and close to reality. Whenever we try to cross the line between friendship and love, either we succeed or come across the same type of feelings. - Vishal
	this poem really gets the point accross through a woman's eyes,when they are fed that really cheesy line from a really gutless man "oh,i just wanna be friends" it's better by far if u just tell the truth! - charlie
	Really nice poem, I was really touched by it since it is exactly the thing I'm going trough right now. I can totally relate to the comment of Slinky who states almost the same situation which I am in. In love with best (female) friend, told her about it, she doesn't feel the same about me, This poem at least gave me some strength to continue to TRY to stay with her solely as a friend, although this is very hard. But as some else's (very good) comment was: "sometimes true friendship is letting go of someone" or something like that.cheers! - Joker75

I have experinced the feeling first hand as many do.I have fallen in love with my best friend.Even though we both know that we love each other more than friend it was never enough.

	:-) I love your poem, 'Can We Still Be Friends?' Just the other week i went through the same experiance, I was(still am hopefully) friends with this girl 'Sarah' she then started going out with one of my best friends, and everything was going well, between me and her and my friend and her, 9 months past and they were still going out, yet for some reason Mark(my friend) broke up his relationship, Sarah was hurt, after a couple of months past me and sarah started getting closer in the fact that we trusted each other with secrets more.. after a couple of weeks, you could say that i had fallen in love. I tried to hide it, yet when ever i wasn't with her i wanted to be with her, and when ever i was with her i didn't wantt o be with her because I couldn't stop thinking about what i felt. I told Mark, he was fine with it, and said that he understood what i felt as he had a nine month relationship with her. Yet he said i should try and forget about her. (he never told me exactly why he broke up with her) to this day he still can't stand her alot. At this point the only thing on my mind was my current situation. One day she invited me to have a friendly sleep over at her house with a couple of people. So i went along, and met her and Adam, and we talked, yet as it got further into the night, Sarah starts to get personal with Adam(intimate cuddling etc.) At this point i'm starting to feel uncomfortable, because she invited me yet they blatently want to be alone, and also for my personal reason. two or three days later i started talking to her about her relationships, she said that she couldnt get into another relationship for a while, at this point i brought adam up into the subject, yet she said that there isn't anything going on it's just the kind of relationship they have. (i still dont understand it but its their choice, maybe it's a security thing ???) at this point i'm totally confused about everything, Adam, my feelings for her, what to do. I think to myself that maybe its best that i keep my distance for a while, yet that just makes me think about it even more(this is all happening on a holiday, but not abroad, no college and no job, so theres nothing to keep my mind off of it) I decide to tell her,,,,, She took it well, and said that it was just a phase (????) Iasked her if it would affect our friendship, and she said she would think no different of me, yet i still feel slightly distant, but that might just be me ... ---------- anyway thats why i thought your poem was good, í could really relate to it.. Keep writing poems.... Slinky :-) - Slinky
