I Want.

I Want.

A Poem by Aleks Edwin
"

to a friend.

"
I WANT, its such a silly thing to say,
When I know that I can't have you,
You don't have to love me that way.
All our kisses hold is friendship,
There is no passion to be found;
I try to give you everything,
But you just turn me down.
I tell you that I love you, and I wish you felt the same,
But the star I wished upon didn't hear me say your name.

Just friends, best friends, that is all you'll let us be.
I'll tell you all my secrets, share every part of me.
I'll listen and I'll love you, when you don't feel the same.
Whatever happens between us, I'll take all the blame.

I try to run, I try to hide, I can't be found today,
For just one moment please hold me, don't let me fade away.
Open your eyes, look into my soul,
Don't leave me alone, or I'll lose all control.
In my arms all I need is you.
For all of my life, my love will be true.

I WANT. It's such a silly thing to say, 
When I know that I can't have you.
You don't love me that way.

So many people fall in love with there best friend.
Also many people are afraid to tell there best friend the way they feel for a number of reasons.
I told mine I loved him all those years back, because its better to know then to always wonder.
Not all these best friend love stories work out in or favor. Mine didn't he didn't feel the same.
Didn't let it ruin our friendship though, we are still really close besties, nothing will change that.
I have since lost feelings for him in that way, and am truly happy with someone who loves me back, and is better suited to me anyway.

Anyway this was relatable, im sure to allot of people. Though i recommend EVERYONE should always be open and honest when it comes to there feelings. Its better to know, then to always wonder. You will regret it.
This piece was great once again, full of so much emotion, meaning, depth and great rhymes. Keep writing :)

This is understandable, but isn't love being best friends with each other in the end? Something unconditional? But I do understand this haha, it happens.
