Love Not Taken

Friendship, that's how it came to be,

Our conversations, serious and carefree

You told secrets I would never know

Of you, of your world, of your soul.

Trust, that's how I came to be

You would offer thoughts to me

Thoughts, you wouldn't even dare

Let anyone see bare.

Hope, that's how you came to be, 

In the dark, you would let me see

How people become your light, 

In struggles and conflict, despite.

Heartbreak, that's what it came to be

That moment when I knew

Only a friend, you'd think of me.

But at least, when I told you I missed you

You said, you missed me too.

That would be enough for me.
