Can I Love You The Way That I Do? Poem by Lody Heront

I gave my heart to you,
I set my standard high.
I laid my eyes on you,
I laughed and cried with you.
I told you my hopes and dreams,
My loves and fears…
My tears I shed all over your shoulder.
In the end I came to see that you were the only guy I could ever trust.
When I see you,
My face lights up with aspiration and happiness.
When we talk,
I can feel the load unload with shooting words from you.
I have the feeling of something in my heart.
In my mind I said " you don't mean a thing"
In my words I said " you are just a friend"
But in the deep end of my heart I think of you only…! !
When I told you my expectations of a guy,
You told me never to fall short of what I want…
But only one thing stands in the way…
That …YOU ARE A FRIEND

p.s: can i love you the way that i do?
