I Love You
Dear friend, I love you
But I am only free to say so
As you are gone forever
And I am married
So finally
I say
I love you
I should have told you
But held my council
And then things where never in the right places
To say
And I could not
For fear of rejection
For fear of friendship lost
I should have told you
That first day
I should have screamed it
To the clouds
Then you would have laughed
And kindly turned me down
And our class would have laughed with scorn
And I would have drifted away free
And friendship would have been awkward
Then severed
And I would not be here
With a breaking heart
I wouldn’t be feeling this pain
Wouldn’t have to tell my husband
The way I feel
As he holds me close and treats me gently
I love him more
But was that only circumstance?
Either way I can say it now
I love you
