Sometimes you befriend someone and for reasons that may vary, you're unable to be with them romantically. You still might long to have that chance but there's also the possibility that it just might never happen. This is a small poem I happened to write along that feeling.
What I Wish I Could Tell You
There's so many things I wish I could tell you
I want to.. But it's neither fair nor the right time
I want to tell you how from the day I first laid eyes on you…
How it felt like a spark in my dark oil tanker heart…
Cause damn do you set me a flame.
I want to tell you how the moment I got the courage to talk to you
I never felt so safe yet insecure.
Because while your smile made me feel at home
Fearing I'd say something wrong rattled my core
Sometimes I wish we weren't so close
Yet blocked by walls I wish for a door
Because when I look for people to love…
It ends up you im looking for
Do they have your laugh?
No? not enough
Your smile, your voice, your glare
But no one ever amounts to you…
And so longingly...
I stare...
