Loving Your Best Friend

We have all had a best friend.
But not everyone has loved their friend
Loved them like a lover.
Wished that they could tell their friend
To tell them the truth
To hold them in their arms
After all your already there for them anyway
How can you tell your friend,
Tell your love
Tell the only person who understands you
That you love them?
Tell them that your heart breaks when they cry
When they have taken a lover
When they sit next to you and think nothing of it?
How can you find it within yourself to tell the truth?
You don't.
That is the pain of it all.
You have to hold it in
You can't tell them how you really feel
They wouldn't understand
Or they would think you were joking
So you would play it off
And quietly mend your broken heart.
Loving your best friend.
No one ever said that it was easy
Especially when your friend is a girl.
The same as you.
