The Almost Love Story

There once was a boy named Rob
Whose heart would always throb,
For days on end unable to mend
His love for Sam, his friend.
This friend, you see
was young as he
yet didn’t quite feel the same,
And because of this, himself he’d blame,
For the lonesome guilt he felt these days;
For why love her, of everyone this mighty world displays?
The walks, the games the things they spent doing together as friends,
Was all forever lost upon this dream Rob always tends.
One day Rob knew he had to tell, Sam how he felt for her,
So he went up and began to talk but it all came out a sputter.
He tried and tried and tried again to explain to her his dream,
But she rejected and told him that for who she liked was Liam.

Years had passed and Sam and Liam had now moved on again,
Yet poor old Rob who still liked Sam was still yet just a friend.
But after years of knowing Rob, Sam’s love for him sunk in,
She loved him, but thought no way could he love her again.
They loved each other but neither would bother to mention it to the other.
So life moved on but their love always stayed and they forever yearned each other.
