this is my story
about how i fell in love
to save myself from the failure of life
how i fell in love with him, for who she is, and who she’ll always be to me
i admired and adored him for long
treasuring any word she’d say to me
and any smile she’d give me
or the way she’d make me laugh
i loved him for the friendship she offered me
and yet after she declined my growing love,
i still loved him
she accepted me as his friend
even after i felt worthless compared to him
and i sit here now, writing this poem
realizing now
that having this special person as my friend
is all i will ever need
i close the doors to one kind of love
but open it to the doors of another kind,
the kind involved with friends
.
