"Finally Seen"

  A few little words said to you.
A few little dreams I hoped would come true.

  Short and sweet you gave your reply.
I had guessed the answer and heaved a sigh.

The tears fell as my heart broke,
As you stood tall and pale like an oak.

You walked away and I fell to my knees
As you left I begged oh please.

You’ve caused me pain unlike any other
With the thoughts and knowledge that we can never be together.

Our true feelings being seen
Both of us coming clean.

Love forever but in the end
Always destined to be friends.
