My Friend, My Love Poem by Kate Fuelleman

We've been friends forever, we hung out all the time
Our friendship was worth a million times more than dime
When we were younger we would sit together on the bus
Everyone could make comments, but didn't bother us
Hell, I could hug him and he wouldn't care
A time in school that we didn't hang out on our free time was very rare
Things have started to change since he got a girlfriend
I found out and felt as if the world was coming to an end
I realized that I like him and I still can't believe it
I should've known when my heart was beating 50 mph and wouldn't quit
Now it seems like whenever she comes around that's all he really focuses on
I could try to get his attention, get it, then when she comes by, it would be gone
I wish things were the same as they used to be before I liked him like I
do
He had his girlfriends and it wouldn't bother me and I'd just think 'what else is new? '
More than any other thing, I don't want to lose our friendship, that's one of my biggest fears
If that were to ever happen I would probably lay down, wish to die, and burst out into tears
