Love is cruel

My heart holds the deepest love for you,

but my lips are entirely sealed,

as I also love this friendship,

and worries a confession might destroy what we have,

but without my realization,

I parted myself from you,

too scared that you, my friend,

might sense the feeling I had for you,

and terrified you might not love me back,

thus, I end up here,

so numb and speechless,

watching you from afar,

and still wondering,

what if love was not so cruel?

and leave our friendship alone.
