My Friend Poem by Katrina Harms

my friend doesn’t know how I love her so
when I watch her
timidly
when she smiles
when we talk like sisters on her bedside

my friend
doesn’t know how much I care about her
when she leaves without a word
and I’m worried
she doesn’t know how much she’s missed

my friend
does she think about me as I think about her
when she sings
like an angel, to the stars
when she hides in the shadows
does she know
how beautiful she is?
