Survival of the fittest, youโve lasted another year,
A happy happy birthday, a wish youโll likely hear,
Iโm proud of your accomplishments, you shine like a star,
God loves and cherishes you, just the way you are,
But you continue to grow, and give praise to his name,
You inspire me greatly, to strive for the same,
Iโve known you forever, the time has flown by,
I have always strived to be called your guy,
Now that Iโm close, Iโm anxious and scared,
Because i know itโs in my head, the feelings are not shared,
You ran from my affection, to others you knew,
And left me unraveled, to obsess and to stew,
Iโve thought a bunch, but still not enough,
Sometimes I wish you would just give it to me rough,
Tell me no with conviction, say it with guile,
The hurt will sting, Iโll sulk for a while,
But understand, Iโll grow and adapt,
Never have I ever felt this trapped,
You make me feel alive, but also tiny and small,
Iโve tried my best, but Iโve stumbled to a stall,
When the poem is done, our friendship will end,
I wish you the best, but I canโt just be your friend.
