About the Poem
This poem is for one of my good friends. I love him to death and wanted more from our friendship, but he would not see to that. I haven't seen him in a couple of months, than just this month, I ran into him at a carnival. As he gave me a hug, I looked back on the good times we shared, and this is what I got.

This poem said exactly what I wanted to say, but for a different reason than why the poet wrote it. Me and my "friend" attempted to get things off the ground, but now I see there are some things that make us not as compatable as I thought. He has strong beliefs about certain things based on what he went through in a previous relationship and it's affecteing what he could possibly have with me. Although he has a lot of qualities I desire in a mate, we just can't get past this one thing. I don't think we ever will.

it reminds of me somebody and the last stanza is right I guess God don't answer all prayers I know I pray enough but my prayers weren't answered.

I look at him, And a smile grows in my face. Just to remember the times, When he could've been mine. As he gives me a hug, While he puts his arms around me. I remember what I would've gave To only have a chance with him. But now I see him, In a different light. Yes, he still means the world to me, But now its a different way. His friendship means a lot to me, Although we never had much anything else. Now I see why God doesn't answer all prayers, Because some things are left better untouched. |

Nicole

this poem touches me the same way, cause one of my friends had it and i was near crying after i read it, cause thers this boy i have liked and wanted for years i would pray to god to give me a chance, and i never knew why god wouldn't give me one and we have been threw alot so i was always upset to see him with other girls and when he would give me hugs i wish that the feeling never went away, now we are working on becoming friends we hung out at the western idaho fair and now i relize i would rather be his friend then nothing at all,and after reading this poem it answered alot that no one eles could, now it makes a little more sence and i thank you alot for that Cole.

I think you have made such a valid point. sometimes it is better to savour the friendship than to complicate it with a physical relationship. there are different forms of love and some people are only ever meant to be friends. don't be sad about it- rejoice the fact that you have such a wonderful friend.

raditya
this poem is really touching u know. Well, especially because I've also experienced it once before (but with a girl of course). And by reading this poem, it really brings back memories for me. It sure is hard to fall in love with your own friend, you must make a choices, and if you chose the wrong choice, you'll ruin everything. I really like this poem, two thumbs up for the poem and also for the writer.
Tammy

Amar
The way, it describe the times that went passed by, really great. Especially the positive attitude, and elaboraion of meaning of Friendship ,more precisely Love ( that Sacrifice is the real Love) is great.

Mark
My name is Mark, and I live in Northern Virginia near Washington, DC. I am a 44 year-old bachelor who has never married. In fact, Chole, I found your poem only today and was deeply moved. It reminded me of a girl I knew nearly 35 years ago, the first girl I'd ever met. After she and her family left, I thought I'd never see, or hear, from her again. In August 2005, I was wrong. She still remembered me, after a life of upheval, remembered having a huge crush on me, and wondered if her feelings for me had gone unrequited. The note I sent, via her father, told her that her feelings had not gone unrequited. Which thrilled me enormously. But her life has been quite rough; as Chole's poem sagely says, I would much rather treasure her as a friend, rather than needlessly complicate her life by crossing the line. Strange as that may seem. But Chole's poem spoke volumes to me in this case, and she is right. I hope that she contacts this site at some point. Again, if you get this message, Chole, thank you so very much for touching my heart and putting into words how I feel about this extremely special person.
