Where Do We Stand? Poem by Christian Rivera

When I close my eyes I see you there
With your smile I melt away
Falling through the cracks of my indecisive mind
I'm confused as to where we stand

Do you love me? Or am I dreaming
When you say that you do
Do you mean just as friends?
Or am I reading the words in the wrong emotion?
I could die if you told me 'just friends, Christian'
Because I love you with all of my heart

I see you as a savior, Angel
You took my mind off of reality on several occasions
I've grown to love you
And I know love is a strong word
But 'like' is too little to count

I dream of the day our lips can meet
But I try not to dream so often
I don't really want to seem like an obsessive person
But it's hard when you left such an impact
When I see you in my head
I see more than my best friend
I see...more

If I told you exactly how I felt
I'm sure you'd back away slowly
You'd think I was a creep for thinking so far
And I'd hate to lose you Angel, you mean so much to me

I'm writing this messed up poem
No rhymes or rhythm or care
Because It's the only style I can show you
The complications in my mind
You confuse me

But It's never really a bad thing
I always smile when you say 'I love you too'
But honestly Angel, how do you mean it?
Do you really think there's something more?

I don't want to bring you down
I just want you to be happy, okay?
But it would make me even happier
If I knew where we stood at this moment
Please tell me Angel, where do we stand?
Any answer at all would bring a sigh of relief
And our friendship, if that's all you want
Would never change
