Friend or Lover?

 I tell you all my secrets, my best friend,

I don't hold my breath in your presence,

I hope I'll have you until the end,

You've always shown me acceptance,

 

But my heart can't help but want more from you, dear friend,

Something I write about in letters I'll never send, 

Your eyes, a lake of serenity,

have set my soul on fire,

your voice has a way of soothing me,

but also maddening me with desire,

your gentle manners reveal your purity,

but your body is one I can't help but admire,

I know it is wrong for me to gaze at you longingly, 

but you always respond with forgiveness,

I want you so desperately, 

and you have endless patience
