It’s been a long time since I sat next to a friend,
     and looked in his eyes
          while he held my hand. 

I never imagined this would happen to us,
     two broken hearts healing
          nearly destroyed by lust.

All night I hoped that you wouldn’t see
     how much I adored
          the way you laughed and teased.

I made the first mistake long before your kiss,
     as I spent the whole night
          staring at your lips.

It took all my strength to push you away,
     to ask you to wait for another time
          another day.

The truth is I would love to be with you,
     but we both still have so much
          healing to do.

I can’t imagine having to get over someone else,
     and I know I can’t love anyone
          until I love myself.

(This isn’t part of my poem so I’ll put it in bold, I credit that last thought to some jerk I know! haha)
For "AL"
It's so hard... to love a friend so dearly but force yourself not to LOVE him because the timing isn't right.

And special thanks to jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerk for the support. (That wasn't a compliment though!)
