We have been friends for years

Meeting for the first time at my workplace

Where you soon became a regular

We started talking day by day

Our friendship grew

And so did my feelings for you.

Now we talk regularly

You know all about me and my life

And are even head over heels about my children.

I can’t help but smile as my heart skips a beat

When you come and surprise us

With your weekend visits.

Now I am scared

I want to tell you just how I care

But don’t want to risk our friendship

But to stand here and do nothing

Feeling the way I do

To me is even scarier.

So I write this poem

To tell you what I feel

Hoping that you will understand

I stand here looking at you Searching your eyes

Hoping we can please try to be more than friends?

‘Cause, I love you more than words.
