We're friends, so close, so tight,
Spent our days in each other's light,
But deep within, a secret I'd keep,
A love for him, so strong, so deep.
I watched him laugh, I watched him smile,
And besides him, I'd sit awhile,
But in the shadows, I'd quietly pine,
For the love I knew would never be mine.
Oh, him, the one I can't forget,
A love that's buried, a secret I've kept,
My heart aches, my soul's on fire,
For the friend I crave, my one desire.
Late-night talks, beneath the stars,
Dreaming of a love that's near and far,
But he found love in someone else's eyes,
While I concealed my love in silent cries.
I've hidden this love, kept it inside,
A treasure of pain, where my feelings reside,
But I'll cherish our friendship, though love's a chore,
For in my heart, he'll always be more.
Time moves on, our lives do change,
But my love for him remains the same,
I wish he'll be there for me, through thick and thin,
Even though my heart aches, and I can't win.
So, I write this poem, my heart laid bare,
A love unspoken, a cross to bear,
But in friendship's light, I'll find my way,
Though my love for him will never fade away.
I Love You, Aaron. I Miss You.
