My Confessions : Part I

I had called it quits with Ace and started dating a very good friend of mine ; one I had met the very first day of college even. I had always wanted a friendship to develop into something more, and for the first month I thought it had, with Champ.


My Confessions : Part I

From the day we met that late-summer's day,
I knew you and I should not be apart.
So much fun we had in our jest and play,
and from that day forth you had my whole heart.

But yours I had not so early that year,
I could only wait and stand by your side.
Your friend forever just to you be near,
I hid my feelings for months I had tried.

For every problem I had run to you,
oft you were patient and had an answer.
With each day passing my love for you grew,
but it mattered not for you were with her.

Doing what I must my feelings aside,
I encouraged you to make things work out.
A smile on my face, pure torture inside,
will I get my chance? my heart filled with doubt.

A summer goes by and with it my love.
I with another I wholly forgot
the feelings I had for one who above
all the rest still had in my heart a spot.

But sixteen months aft the day we both met
my feelings for you were back in full swing.
I prayed the future held not a regret,
I hoped I meant more than a weekend fling.

The end of that year brought us together;
my dreams had come true, "you" and "I" now "us".
If we try any storm we can weather;
you have been my rock, you I fully trust.

By your side I'll stand completely devout,
with each passing day you I'll still cherish.
Problems may arise but we'll work them out,
and together the "us" will not perish.
