Hidden Loss

We all have friends and if we're lucky then we have them for life. There are some of us who want more than friendship and the risk then becomes a wager that is terrifying to many hearts.

SKR

I need to write
I need to get it all out
Yet I'm pensive
Scared of what may really...
Dwell in my thoughts for you.

It's all buried deep
Somewhere in an abyss of respect
That private place
That place where I keep thoughts of you safe
The place where my shine is born.

I'm terrified of thinking
About you
Scared of purging what is really
There...
There where fears come often
When the friendship of a lifetime could be jeopardized
Terror that this knowledge could change you and how you feel for me.

I'm scared of losing you
That you would never return
What's best here?
The truth could expose a lifetime of dreams
For the Enigma desquised as a friend
For the love that is deeper
For the one friend who has been all my holidays
All my Valentines
For my lifetime friend.

Jackson Browne sings of us
His words speak when mine are lost.

"You're the hidden cost
In all that's lost
In everything I do."

There are no winning answers.

Susan

Susan
Beutiful poem, and timeless situation.
My perspective wonders if it is not possible to live from a space of authenticity in expressing your feelings without the risk.
If you find ways of gently, softly expressing your truth without expectation
that can be your experience without changing his. This way your relationship might grow deeper in precious unexpected ways.
Blessings to you, Vicky

"For the one friend who has been all my holidays" that made me misty.

You pen your emotions so very well, Susan.
I think it natural if we love someone, we want more than a friend. The fear of losing a friend forever can be a trauma however.
Wonderfully written!
