A/N: Okay I know the title needs a little help, but if you're reading this then something must have caught your attention. This is a little bit longer then some of the poems I have been writing lately, but that's okay, I had a lot to say. I just wish I could tell him how I feel, but I won't, maybe if he breaks up with his girlfriend... ANYWAYS! If you have an idea for a better title, let me know, cuz I really couldn't think of one when I was writing this.

I don’t have to hide myself
When I’m around you.
I don’t have to wear a mask…
I don’t have to pretend
To be someone I’m not.

You are always there for me,
In sickness and in health,
Close to me as a friend
Should be.

I like when I talk to you
Because you care…
You care about what
I have to say
You lean in and hear me.
You don’t blow me off,
Like others have done before…

You are truly a great friend
And I wish I could tell you
How much you mean to me.
But I can’t…
I can’t because your heart is
Somewhere else… to a girl
A Girl who doesn’t deserve you...
You deserve the best and only that.

I wish you would see me
The way I see you.
I see a great person,
You are one in a few.

I’m not sure, what these feelings are
The ones that I feel when you’re
Not here…
Loneliness…
Emptiness…
Sadness…

You tell me that you have a girlfriend,
And yes I know that,
Believe me I haven’t forgotten.
But you shouldn’t play
The games that you
Inadvertently play.
They hurt but you don’t know…
You wouldn’t…
Because I don’t let it show.

I apologize if I shouldn’t feel these feelings
But I can’t help it…
You’re so amazing, how could anyone
Not feel what I’m feeling?

You are a man
Who was born too late…
A poet in the sense.
Romance is your game,
You are my second half.

You don’t try to be someone you’re not,
You are one of a kind…
You are sweet
And always on my mind.

However, you do fill a void
That consumes part of my heart…
I owe you something
That I can credit to no one else.
I am a better and happier person
Because I know you,
And you are my friend.

In the end if things don’t work out
Don’t worry I won’t forget you.
You may forget me and the times
We shared.
But you have left an impression
In my heart.
I will never let go,
We were friends from the start,

I just wish I could tell you,
How much you mean to me…
Maybe its love…
Maybe…
But I’ll never know,
But being friends...
Is more then I ever wished for.
