About the Poem

For those who have fallen for their best friend. And are afraid to come out and just say it. Like me.

To My Best Friend?

by Shannbodan

This is for the greatest person
that I have ever known.
Being away from you for so long
I am feeling so alone.
With you I am so happy
you keep my heart content.
But I had to be a volunteer -
so off to England I went.
That is where I found my heart
and how I feel for you.
I try so hard to deny this feeling
and I don't know what to do.
I said that I would never again
let someone take my heart.
And here I'm sitting wanting you
and hate that we're apart.
Everyday you are in my thoughts,
every night you're in my dreams.
I can't believe what's happening,
is this really what it seems?
I know you're only wanting
to be the best of friends,
but I am asking you sincerely
if it's your rule you'll bend.
To take a chance to know me
to let me share it all.
And maybe one day very soon
for me one day you'll fall.
Our friendship we now have
is something that I'd miss
but maybe once we let go
we will find eternal bliss.

Katie

I understand. I have very intense feelings for my best friend. We've been friends for 10 years since we were 3. I love him and my heart yearns for him but he loves another.

Rossy

This poem really touched me & opened up my eyes. Really since i as well in a similar situation we have been best friends for almost 3yrs now and my bond w/him has grown into more than just friendship but he would rather us stay friends but i think it would be better off that way. Cuz i think i would be more scared of losing his friendship more than anything in the world. Since he has alwayz been their for me through both the good & bad. So will be forever friends. Best friends i should say.

raukura

Elisha

this is so true you never know how much you love some one until there are miles between you.

Robin

I loved this poem. I have a best friend ever in the entire world, and I've only known him a month. And I love him so much more then a friend, but I could never tell him that. I think he likes me too, but im afraid of rejection. im afraid of our friendship being ruined. Maybe now I'll have the courge to say, "I love you T rever. "

deb

i like this poem a lot i like readying poems that people write
