Do You? When... Poem by Lizzie Resendiz

What's the point in telling someone you love them
When you know the feeling wont be returned
When you know they'll avoid you
When you know you wont gain anything
but could possibly lose a friend
Whats the point in that
When their friendship is the best thing you have
When their the only thing that matters
When you love them too much to risk it
Why risk losing that
but deep in your mind
Your wondering will they turn away
Could they possibly return the feeling
Do you really want to take that chance?
I mean who knows what might happen
Is it really worth the risk?
You could try to move on
but if their your one and only
then what?
What do you do?
Should you really risk it?
Maybe, just maybe, they will feel the same way
maybe your right and they'll walk away
maybe they'll understand, stick around, wouldn't it be awkward then?
Do you tell them?
Do you risk it?
Do you take that chance?
