Here's another one I've written in College. This was for a friend who offered me love. A love that I could not return at that time. He was a very good person. Talented and good looking. The only thing that I do not like is that we were good friends and I did not want to lose the friendship... more than anything, I wanted the friendship to last... he's gone now, but I will forever cherish his memory.
For M.
I like you too,
That you must know,
But I can never say yes to you.
I do not know why
I do not know why not,
I do not know when
My heart can ever love again.
Teach me how—
I do want to care now!
But how is it gonna be?
I don’t even know if I’m capable of loving!
If my heart can speak directly to you
Maybe she can help you understand
The very things that I myself do not.
If I ask you to wait, will you do that?
But until when must you wait?
No, don’t wait for me—
Time will give each of us a reason,
An answer to an unending question—
Love me because were good friends
And let us keep it that way,
For now, let us wait and see…
