Dear, Friend

I didn't know that

You were in love with

Me...

I remember one summer

Before I went to stay

With my Dad,

You wrote me a letter βœ‰οΈ

It was clear your Heart was out and I didn't catch it.

Friends were okay

With me...

In My Mind,

We broke up and

I had no clue,

That you stood

In love with me.

My family moved away,

And there was nothing

That I could do.

I hugged

You, and shook

Your hand, as

A friend, but

It was something

About the hug,

I felt that

Energy profound

With your gentle touch...

Thinking back, I remembered

Your sincere manner.

If only you knew,

That I was into

You...

P.s. Just a friend
