Dear Friend And Lover A Poem


Dear Friend and Lover,

I hope you don't mind
My referring to you as such.
You know you warrant
Those terms of endearment.

You have been both.
I have appreciated each
Incarnation you present.
My friend and my lover
It is as both I wish
To with
My feelings and thoughts.

So many times I wanted
To make you more!
Step through that door!
Not just
Longingly through
A window.
Like I was shopping
And you were more
Than I could .
But it is true.
How can I go full boar?
How can I tell you
What is in my heart and soul
For fear that you
Will think my offer
Too little and not
Worthy of yours?

I have wanted to whisper it
Into your ears as you sleep.
God how I wanted to
This past week
But I didn't dare!
For it might be the end
Of our rendezvous.
You might think
Beyond pulling back
To just this sexual liaison
That we both immensely enjoy.
And I could not contemplate
Not seeing you again.
Not feeling you
Not kissing you
Not having a conversation
About mundane stuff
And even your interaction
With my crazy little dog
With whom you show
Great affection.
I could not give that up.

And so silent I stayed.
My thoughts kept safe
Although tears shimmered
In my eyes.
You did not see them
As I said you were asleep.

My friend and lover
Even now as a tear
Makes its way
Down my cheek
I dare not speak
And tell you the truth
For I cannot make
You love me in return.
Like the song by Bonnie Raitt
That goes over and over
In my mind.
"Cause I can't make you
Love me if you don't.
You can't make the heart feel
Something it won't."

And I should not be desperate!
But tell that to my heart!
For it wants what it wants
And it wants your love.
If only there were words
That could make it so...
