The moon rises, and the sun quickly wanes,
My mind so preoccupied, I'm going insane,
Many go through a life time, never this close,
To their dream's perfection, a fallen heavenly host,
You make me wide eyed and stupefied,
Anxious and glowing, scrambling to hide,
A universe's big bang of emotion,
That began from a friendly devotion,
How easily innocent admiration,
Became fascination then infatuation,
Something inside me just wanting to be heard,
Something beautiful but in this world absurd,
Truer than a Caribbean ocean's blue,
Are these feelings I have for you,
OR is it better said that possess me,
I don't want to sleep, drink or eat,
Proving to be the nemesis of my defenses,
I could never be your perfect one,
Just another gravity held adorer of you the sun,
And even though bridges could possibly burn,
Just that one moment, is all for which I yearn,
To really look at you, into your windows,
To hold you kiss you and let you indisputably know,
What lives and breathes, what I would give unconditionally,
And if we could remain friends I'd walk away happily,
Do you understand or know the battle raging within me,,
TO insure your safety I would face my mortality,
I hold on, even though resolve grows steadily weak,
A word a name for this feeling I haven't the courage yet to speak,
I love you my friend, beyond my words to convey,
Can you imagine how hard this is to know, let alone say,
I need you to break my heart,
In order to move on to a new start.
