Nothing More Than Just A Friend? Poem by Daya Nandan

His love for her so passionate and intense,
He would buy her attention at any expense,
He would dream everynight of her beautiful smile,
Hoping that she would one day find his love worthwhile,

A beautious woman she is, the woman of his dreams,
His heart pours love non-stop for her like sparkling river streams,
With hopes that at some point he would be more than just a friend,
Praying that his love so deep she would understand,

She is a young woman of both elegance and beauty,
One who could care for a man and perform a wife’s duty,
She wants a man who who can provide for her in life,
A financially secure man who she would love and be called his wife,

She had thoughts many times of being the woman that he could marry,
For this man is financially secure and her burdens he could carry,
But slowly the thoughts were slowly breaking off from her mind,
For within her heart to be with him love was not the reason to find,

She would only love his money and not him,
Making the reality of his love nothing further than a dream,
The guilt of wanting his money suffocates her deep down,
She would be his loveless queen wearing a glittering crown,

She values their friendship, a truly magical bond,
He wants to take it further than the stars beyond,
She has no feelings for him and hence, her love she cannot pour,
But friendship is not his goal, he needs something more,

She could be with this man but she doubts she would feel happiness,
But without her in his life all he would experience is excruciating sadness,
He prays that deep down she will open her eyes and see,
That his love for her surpasses companionship and is deeper than the vast blue sea,

She could marry this man but not love him more than a friend,
A kind of marriage that might live a really sad end,
No matter how luxurious and grand the things he may offer,
She has decided to make him nothing more than a friend to her.

But there is still hope, for falling in love is something none know,
We cannot predict when love will be born and when it will show,
Unless the spark of love he ignites within her heart,
Only then will her doubting fade and their love story start,
