About the Poem

It's hard being in love with your best friend. It's even harder to let go when you realize you were destined to be "just friends."

Not Meant To Be

There once was a time if I just closed my eyes,
I could see us together as one.
But after these years of growing apart,
I can see that dream is done.
You were the one who knew me inside and out,
And always knew just what to say.
Any problems I had would disappear,
When you said it would all be okay.
There was always a special connection with us,
And these days it seems to be gone.
Whatever we had died a long time ago,
But it's just so hard to move on.
Those times I'd drown in the blue of your eyes,
You never noticed a thing.
There were nights I laid awake and thought,
Of the love our friendship could bring.
No matter how hard I've been trying,
The truth is so hard to see.
I guess it takes a while to let go,
Of something not meant to be.

Angela
This poem is truly amazing. It expresses the way I feel for this guy that I really like. He still hasn't completely gotten over me but we can't be together because he has a girlfriend. We still talk about everything even his girlfriend. When he talks about her it brakes my heart, because I know we were never meant to be. The poem truly is amazing.
kim
i can't even begin to express how this puts into a nutshell how i've felt about the man i love who just happened to be my best friend. i've looked for someone to fill the void since i lost him, but i know it never will be. thanks for a beautiful poem.i only wish it could change his mind. maybe one day he and i will be together.i guess only time will tell..
kim
i can't even begin to describe what this poem means to me. it captured my life with my love and my best friend whom i miss and love ever so much. i hate to think that we're not meant to be, but i guess only time will tell if we really are. mike, if you ever see this comment..i love you forever darling, and i always will.

This poem describes exactly how I feel. I've been in love w/ my bestfriend for a while now, and he doesn't feel the same way. We had something going on, but now he just backed away and left me lost in love!!! We're still bestfriends, but I wish it could be more!!!
