We are friends
But of late
I have been looking at you differently
And
Inside
There is a longing
I have to repress.
You are already in love and happy,
I see:
I would never harm that, my friend.
Though Secretly,
I wish
Your love was for me.

There have been times
Where I have almost disclosed
How I feel
But
It wouldn't work
Just cause hurt.
I can see how in love you are
I would never harm that, my friend.

Secretly, I will love you from afar.
Secretly,
I love you!

How many have been in this position
Loving a love already loved,
Honoured
That union,
Loving in silence
A love repressed,
A secret love
Love still a bud
Never having blossomed
And
Taken to the grave?
