POEM JUST FRIENDS

How difficult it is to love and 

not be loved in return, 

sometimes we are full of 

disappointments, 

we fond of people and 

give our hearts, 

without being sheltered.

I fell in love and fond of you, 

of your details, your smile, 

the kindness in your soul, 

essence of a woman, then, 

I ventured to navigate 

the sea of feelings, it showing 

what my soul feels for you, 

but to my surprise, 

during this time I have been wrong, 

you were offering friendship 

to the man that with the days 

he had fallen in love of you.

It hurts knowing you just a friend,

when my body it´s burning in 

fire of love, wanting their flames 

devour you from head to toe, 

although with this intense feeling, I'd 

settle with a hug, a kiss or a simple look, 

to tell me, I'm here for you,

I offer you my love.

I wonder how I could fall into 

the traps of love, me with hardhearted, 

that one day I swore never to love again,

here I am with torn heart, 

without consolation, more than 

the cool breeze blowing the sea.

It is a sad reality , 

but it will have to learning 

to live without you, 

but friendship is valuable,

I will not be able to be just your friend,

once my heart beat with love for you.

Sorry, but I think it is better 

for two politely and courteously 

give a goodbye, a goodbye is forever,

 I'm just asking you to remember 

my dear friend, that I love you 

with all my heart.
