the dilemma. what do you say to a friend who you love?

out of a million faces,
yours is the only one I see
whether it is known or not.

bound by years of friendship,
I may have taken for granted
the moments we shared
together when we
were concerned
who would be it for tag.

but now grown,
I am realizing that
all we ever think
about is love.

and what hurts
is that perhaps we
are to blind to see,
at least I am.

you talk about the
perfect one and
describe everyone but me
and I talk about the perfect one
and describe the entirety of you.

I am now seeing I will never have the chance to love you.

during our time
we spent together,
I have been secretly
searching for you.

swimming through
violent waters,
through endless people
to find the one for me,
I am always led back
to you; a gentle
ripple that has had
the force of a tsunami.

It is you who I want
but I know we can
never be for if I
lose you, I lose everything.
