Off in the distance, never being seen
Loving you for so very long
My love for you wasn't foreseen
Hiding these feelings, that are so strong
                            I
Imagine your lips so close to mine
Never getting notice in that way
Thinking about you all the time
It is almost like,  I'm being betrayed
                          AND
Knowing how you feel, hurts me inside
Never saying anything to you
Rather be friends, than even try
Afraid if I told, you I would lose
                    
Maybe you will see me,  like I see you
We would be close to each other
Change your heart, fall in love with me too
Take our friendship a little further
                      OR
Someday I will meet someone new
All these feelings then would be gone
Someone to love me, and be true
And we will live as though we are one
                    BUT
For now, I got a secret I keep
And if I tell, the price is too high
So I will just keep being discrete
Pretending our friendship isn't a lie
A Michaelle Yarbrough
