the strength of a coward
I saw in your eyes a want .. a hope ..
a hope nestled against a dream so closely ..
that your wish almost became a reality as ..
they spoke to me in whispered promises ..
whispered promises of love .. love never ending ..
filled with days of joy .. and nights of passion ..
yet ...
though my desire for you is just as great ..
it is fear that holds me at bay ..
fear of pain that will not allow me to ..
breach this comfort zone of friendship ..
a friendship that but for fear .. could be so very much more ..
but fear is the strength of a coward ...
and so I beg you .. please ...
forgive me ...
forgive me for not being weak enough to love you
