I see him whisper in her ear,
I feel my heart ache,
I see him kiss her without fear,
I feel my heart break.

I see them all around me,
These happy, smiling pairs,
They drive me to insanity,
Why can't I have that? It''s not fair.

I love hanging out with you,
But I want something more,
I try to tell you in all that I do,
I may as well knock down the door.

You see me as I friend,
I know this to be true,
I'll love you to the end,
I just wish I could tell you,

I love you, yes it's true,
It isn't that hard to see,
Tell me if you love me too,
Then you and I could be

So much
So much
So much more.
So much
So much
So much more.

I want that for us,
That loving certainty,
No need to fuss,
It's the way it was meant to be

I wish that you were bolder,
But I guess that's why I love you,
I see the way he holds her,
That's not what we'd do.

I think I know you love me,
But I can't help but doubt,
There is nothing I can see,
That shows me what you're thinking about.

You see me as I friend,
I know this to be true,
I'll love you to the end,
I just wish I could tell you,

I love you, yes it's true,
It isn't that hard to see,
Tell me if you love me too,
Then you and I could be

So much
So much
So much more.
So much
So much
So much more.
I wish...

I wish I could read your mind,
So I could see what you're thinking about,
I wonder what I'd find,
Would it make me want to shout

Yes! I knew it!
Now I can get on with it,
Or no! I blew it!
He doesn't love me one bit.

I'm hoping that you're not
Thinking anything that would hurt me,
I wish that I could spot,
Proof that you'll love for infinity.

You see me as I friend,
I know this to be true,
I'll love you to the end,
I just wish I could tell you,

I love you, yes it's true,
It isn't that hard to see,
Tell me if you love me too,
Then you and I could be

So much
So much
So much more.
So much
So much
So much more.

I love you....
I want you...
Is it enough to make you
Love me too?
I wish...

i liked this poem quite a bit, it brought out the uncertainty that you feel when you want to know if he loves you, thats exactly what makes a poem something that poeple will lovew to read, the ability to put your emotions on the paper, great job, and an even better poem, a five for this poem

It's never to late, if it weren't for the last minute many things would never get done!

Another great piece. Once again relatable and honest. Also very song-like. Once again though, some parts flowed awesome, and some not so much. Keep writing.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

Wow this is very pretty! I can relate... can't we all?

i actualy liked this piece of work, despite the fact that its a love poem. it stuck a cord deep within me that is rarely touched by words strung together, one of the true rarities to me. a piece that i will never forget, it draws out the perspective of both how you feel about this freind and your fear of what he might do when told.
