The inevitable

A man approaches his friend with the news that he loves her.

Words! So many words! I was finally able to say Nearly able to keep my emotions at bay 'What a relief!' I thought as my words flowed and flowed I had gone to her private room Her humble abode I feared her response Her reaction to my heart But she stayed true to form Her sweetness overflowing Breathing and composure A constant battle However, I charged ahead Pedal to the medal I needed her to know Of my thoughts and feelings Waiting any longer would have been oh so unappealing You told me of your situation Very confusing I confessed to you my own Not any less heartaching Where do we go from here I asked so tenderly You told me of our (limited) options Not wanting to hurt me I left you right after My feelings now expressed With all my romantic words You probably felt pressed Sleep was difficult to get Later on that night I so hoped you wanted me too, or that you just might Our next steps are so unclear, not at all obvious Although my emotions are spent Our future is still ambiguous Our spending the next day together, was strange yet wonderful You went back to being yourself How so very loveable

Author's Note

He had practiced this speech to his lady love for months.....and he then was finally able to tell her what he knew so well in his heart.
