Scared to tell you
It was just another one of our late-night walks
We were sitting on that bench
talking about whatever
And it was when I looked at you that night
that I realized
there might be more than friendship between us
at least for me.
I’ve always thought you were a great person
I mean, you definitely are, that’s just a fact.
But then I thought
“Why not you?”
I’d always been searching for
a man
someone who likes me the way I am
who supports me
and who I like as well
But that man might have been right in front of me this whole time.
And I wonder if I am the woman you’ve been searching for?
But it’s not that easy
because what if I’m only a friend to you?
Merely your “homegirl”?
Heck I’d do anything to be able to read your mind
see your thoughts
see if you feel the same
because I’d never tell you.
I’m just way too scared to ruin our friendship
but what if you feel this way as well?
If we don’t tell each other we’ll miss out on something great
I wouldn’t want that.
But neither do I want our friendship to end.
So I’m stuck
leaving this letter
hoping that maybe you’ll read it
and respond
and relate to my feelings.
