I Love You More Than I Should Poem by vern eaker

# I love you more than I should
# Loving you is supposed to feel good
# We discussed it heart to heart
# Only to learn your, happiest apart
# And because your happiness means most to me
# I reluctantly agree, this is the way it has to be
# And we are content to be best friends
# But sadly enough that's not how it ends
# My love continues, to deepen and grow
# Not fair to you, this I do know
# Because now through no fault of your own
# I'm constantly reminded, I feel so alone
# I'm sure that it's you I need by my side
# Yet to remain in your life, my love I must hide
# You need time your not sure how much
# I've agreed it's best to allow you such
# As my love becomes harder to conceal
# Theirs a pain in my heart that is to real
# I feel like there's a void, the exact size of you
# And can no longer ignore it whatever I do
# I need you with me if only you could
# And promise always to love you more than I should
