Fear (thinking of changing it)

by Val#10   Aug 3, 2004


The day we met you were shy and quiet.
Unknowing of the friendship we would soon share.
As time grew on we grew closer.
I know I could open up to you and you would understand.
I started looking forward to all the times we would meet.
Your smile became a simple joy in my life.
Stating to brighten up every time I heard your name.
Stalling after the lunch bell rang to meet you in the hall.
Eagerly waiting to see your smiling face.
Then suddenly my feelings for you started to change.
It had grown from friendship to like.
Unsure if my feeling were wrong.
If I was just confused.
And yet I could feel them growing stronger as the days past.
Worrying if you could read the fear in my eyes of what you would think if you knew.
You started to trust me too.
I felt like somehow not telling you was like lying and betraying your trust.
I came to the decision you had to know.
Know the feelings I had bottled up inside.
Fearing you would leave once you knew.
Knew the truth of what I felt.
But you did not.
You stayed by my side.
Telling me it would not change our friendship even though you could not return the feelings.
And it has not.
You have found someone right for you.
And I could not be more happy for you.
I thank God for blessing me with such a great understanding friend like you.
