Yes, my friend,
I know it's hard for you..
My wanting, hoping, waiting...
Always seeming to be baiting..
As I reach out in a way
That fills you with fear.

Once upon a time I kept my life hidden
deep inside my pockets for none to see.
No one to touch, or hurt or tell.
Yet already you know me so well.
I trust you so much,
That I hold it all out for you to touch and see
Knowing that you would never hurt me.

It's all right, my friend, it's okay.
I know you'll stay while you can,
Then you'll go, and I'll grow,
And I'll probably cry for a while.
Fear not, sweet friend, don't flee,
I only want to be close to thee.

Enjoyed this. It's not easy to write poems about deep emotions especially those of love and admiration without sounding slushy. Well done.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
