This is a true story. What finally happened? I returned to the one I loved only to realise that HE wasn't the one I wanted, and now I'm with my friend again.


Four years waiting for this moment
Of covert looks and accidental touches
Four years of unspoken and unspeakable promises
Bound to others by vows that were broken

And as our time finally comes, my heart is torn
There is my friend whom I love,
But I do not love him enough to let you go.
My heart belongs to you.

But how to I tell my friend?
How do I break his heart?
How do I tell him that my heart belongs
To the one I could not have until now.

How can I justify myself to him?
How can I tell him that I love him just not that way?
How can I tell him that I just wanted to see my friend?
How do I explain in such a way to keep my friend?

I know that both are bound to me,
But while he is bound to my mind,
You are bound to my heart
And that cord is thick and strong

It pulses with our heartbeats
Even when we’re far apart
It reminds me of my promise
And helps me keep it.

I don’t want to loose my friend,
But I cannot deny the truth
And I cannot betray your trust
Or my own honor.

So tell him I must
And deal with what will come
For good or bad, in love or hate
But I hope I don’t loose my friend.

I decided to enter the Valentine's Poetry contest, hope I did it right.
