Accept me.

It is not the same now.
Can you even remember how it used to be?
So close, I thought it would last forever,
An eternal melding of minds.

I could not foresee that
Our friendship would be eclipsed by a more
Meaningful love.
Love deeper in the soul, deeper seated

Even though you do not realize
Even though you do not see.

She loves you, as I could never admit.
Loves you as you could never
Accept I could.

I could beg, ask you
Please see, please
Look into my eyes and see the love.
But I think that you would turn away,
Rejection from you is what I could never handle.

I could not ask this of you.
I can never ask you to chose,
Between our friendship and
The love that you cannot see.

This will never reach you. My last desperate plea for your love.
For your acceptance for
What I desire.

I see your love for her
And yet you never told me.
Why will you talk to me no longer?

I should not ask.
I know it is she; you have her now.
You need me no longer.
Indeed you never wanted me.

I could say goodbye, but I still have hope.
So instead I say Until Next We Meet, in this life or the next,

My friend.
