My Friend Poem by Eden Rivera

My friend,

You make me feel like a poet, like a rose in a garden filled with sunflowers. Alone for a short while until we meet again on the shore at sun rise. You and me, together again sitting up against the palm tree. You start to stare at me as I stare out into sea. I'm thinking of you, thinking about how life would be if it was just me and you on this earth. You ask me what's wrong, I say it's nothing. I know that bothers you, and I know I lied but how can I tell you the truth? It's too hard. I'm too late. You're already with someone else. Someone I hate. You say that you are in love, but are you really? I know I am. There's something I've been holding back, waiting for the right time. You say there is no right time, only here and now. But as the saying goes, 'There is always a time and place for everything' that is what I go by. Now is the right time, maybe not the right place but, how else can I get to you? After all this time it's been too late. But now I've learned, it's never too late. So I must say it. I must tell you how I feel... I love you. I always have and I always will love you. So now I must say goodbye. Goodbye my love, I will meet you at sunrise. 

With all my love,
Eden
