PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I watch as you walk

   Across the street.

And I smile

   Because I know it's me

       You are coming to see.

I check myself in the mirror,

       Then shake my head.

I'm being silly.

       We are friends.

       Anyone can see,

       This we'll always be.



You knock.

I answer and give you a hug.

We sit on my bed

And chat.

        That's all we ever do.

You tell me how I understand

        Like no one can.

How I mean so much...

        You will always need me.

You don't know how much

        this means.

        We are friends,

        You tell me.

        That's how it was meant to be.



I look into your eyes

The words on my lips

        'I love you, my one best friend.'

They finally escape.

        And once again, I hope

For you to say the same.

        But you look away.

'I know' you sigh.

        'You mean much to me...

                     Too much'.

You look at the wall

        I know you are thinking of her.

For a minute it hurts.

        We are friends.

        You needn't remind me

        That's all we can be.



I tell you that the same question

        Was asked of me again.

'Are you and he...?'

        We both laugh.

Imagine.

        Just because we spend  

Every moment together,

        And stay up to all hours

     Talking,

And it's obvious that

        I love you.

Imagine.

        We are friends.

        Can't everyone see,

        That's all we'll be?



It becomes late

        And my roommate won't be back.

I put on boxers.

        You take off your pants.

I lie down under the covers.

        You shut off the light

And crawl into bed beside me.

        'Are you okay?' you ask.

'Of course' I cuddle up next to you.

        You play with my hair.

I move around

        To hide those brushed away tears.

'I'm great' I say.

              Thinking

         We are friends.

         Sometimes it just hurts

         To remember that's all

             We will ever be.
