You

By: Milagros Adelina Ramos

This is the most difficult problem I've ever had
and don't know what to do.
I wonder if you think of me
at least half as much as I do about you.

This is the very first time
I have ever had strong feelings towards a guy,
I wanted to tell you sooner
but, the coward in me just let time pass by.

The fear of being rejected by you
and then to have to face you every day,
Was too much for me to cope with
so, I went ahead and just left it that way.

I wonder if your place in my world
is, as my true love or, as my friend,
So, I need to admit my feelings
so, my heart's anxiety can end.

I'm opening my heart to you
because, I can't hold it any longer
And I want to know what you think
before my emotions get any stronger.

Even if you don't feel the same way,
you will always hold a special place,
In which my hearts deep ocean
of secrets will never erase.

But, if you ask me to, I just might give my heart
and stay with you till the end
And if you don't, I'll forget how I feel
and will forever be your friend.

I've been scared to tell you,
because I ask myself why you would pick me,
When there's hundreds of prettier girls
always around for you to see.

No matter what happens between us,
you can count on me to help when you're in need,
Because ever since we met, our friendship has grown
and you're a special friend indeed.

You're one of the few friends
that, when I'm down, makes me strong,
And you have always treated me right
and have never done me wrong.

If you feel the same way too,
it will be a wonderful wish come true,
But, what worries me the most
is to have lost the true friend I've found in you.

My heart might be aching now
but, time will help heal and my heart will mend,
But, I know one thing is for sure,
you and me will be... forever friends.
