Just A Friend Poem by Hopeless Heart

My heart speaks of something
That my mind does not,
Sweetly it sings
Of something I want,

Beautiful as he may be
I shouldn’t think of him that way,
I wish my heart would see
That this is how this should stay,

In my dreams I lay with him,
His arms hold me tight,
To think these things is such a sin
A trick played by the light,

He’s my friend and nothing more
Yet my heart does not agree,
It won’t believe, it just shuts the door,
It’ll never see,

He doesn’t share the feelings of my heart
But then neither does my mind,
Yet it will not part
With these feelings and an ending so unkind,

All I want to be is friends
That way I don’t fall apart,
So in the end there won’t be anything to mend
In one piece I’ll stay, especially my heart.
