Your lure

What is it about you?
Even now knowing what I know...
I can't bear to be away from you.
I miss you terribly.

There is no more future,
or at least as I once dreamed.
But some future is better than no future,
No matter its essence.

Even now,
I feel your lure.
Even now,
I can't escape...
Nor do I want to.

What I once hoped for,
I can never have.
And yet, I want
whatever is left to be had.

I want to be around you,
talk to you,
pick your brain,
hear your chuckle.

I want to feel your touch,
even if only given in friendship.

I want to learn from you,
laugh with you,
talk to you,
tease you.

I am not proud...
I have no friends.
Couldn't I have just one good one?
And couldn't it be you?

Poems as Love Letters

I love this plaint to be friends, the bond is one-sided, the object of the invitation seems reticent to alleviate the lonliness...sooooo romantic - the impossible liaison? - liked this one lots - allets

And you have no idea how impossible this liaison would be, as it turns out. At this point, I would be glad for just his friendship...
