I Can't Be Your Friend Anymore
It is so comforting to think of you
The good times we had and the bad ones too
‘If only, if only’, would linger in my head
Then I noticed the damp spot from the tears I shed
I’d dream every night with my eyes open wide
Connecting these memories I have lock up inside
Wondering if tomorrow would be my ‘someday’
And ‘I love you’ would be the first words you’ll say
I’ll fall asleep lonely with this bitter sweet
Cuddle up in a ball underneath my sheet
And wake in the morn with your picture in view
One more day has come, one more day to love you
The law of life; all things come to an end
Time to move on, time to stop pretend
I will always love you, of this I am sure
I just can’t be your friend anymore
Oh your smile, I can see it coming
Just another note from a heart that’s hurting
These words I remember I’ve said them before
But this time the pain is too great to ignore
It hurts to know that I will never know you
This love in my heart I won’t get to show you
So I’ll put it away behind close door
And I can’t be your friend anymore
these words you have placed on this page, are words from deep down within, as I read, I feel where you are coming from...very nice work my friend
Heart-wrenching and intensely powerful, this poem shook me up by taking me back to incidents that happened over two decades ago . . . I admire this poem very much, but at the same time, it haunts me . . . Bravo! You have done excellent work here!

very good poem.. i know where you're coming from. there are some type-os in the poem though.. but otherwise it was beautifully written. just remember though.. God has in store for you a wife.. and He'll show you who it is when you're ready.. and when she's ready.
