About the Poem

I wrote this poem about a very close friend of mine. I'm not sure exactly when I realized how I felt about her. Well, anyway, I wrote this poem when I found out that she basically had no romantic interest in me.

More Than Friends

by Matt Whitaker

People always say that friendships should be treasured.
But I want something more with her.
My love for her could never be measured.
I only wish she could see how I feel.
So I wonder, what can I do?
Can I just be friends with her?
Or can I say to her, "I'm falling for you,"
And lose her friendship forever?
So is there any hope here or I should let my love for her end?
No matter how it all turns out, I'll always be her friend.

I think it was a great poem. It reminds me of my friend Sanjin and I. We have been best friends for 8 years. We gone out about 6 times in those eight. We still like each other but we don't know if it would be a good idea. So we are just staying friends at the moment.
