But…..I'm Just A Friend Poem by Solomon Alo

I learnt that there's a twist in love
So I found you hiding your feelings for me, keeping it to yourself
I tried to make a move but my legs couldn't carry me
We could see clearly the zeal, but our hearts seems shorter than our words
We buried sleep stalking ourselves
Warmed our hearts with our burning desires
Craving upon cravings
Attempts and futility
We stuttered l… L….. but couldn't say further
You are Scared
And I'm Scared too
So scared to go first
Now, we stand at distance staring at each other
I wonder what happened last night that kept us awake
Each time you leave I feel empty
Whenever you are around I am whole
Do you feel the way I feel?
Or it's just a delusion from here
I have miles to walk you down to
Would you mind sharing your heart with me?
I know how it feels to love and be loved
So whenever I gives you a perk
Don't resist, it makes me look like a jerk
I wish I could take you near the riverside
Where you can see my other side
I wish I have a chance to say it out loud
That I love you, even in the midst of crowd
I wish I could just do the things I feel
But……I'm just a friend to you
