Love Poem: The Humble Truth

The Humble Truth

Soon this pain will be gone
In lieu of the happy past
Soon this fear we share
Will change the childhood lust
Completely to the feeling we fight
Each and every single night

Soon the fountain in us 
Shall overflow with the force we built
Soon I shall be a man 
And you a woman to accept the ending
Of a story began in years
The story of the seed we sowed together

Soon we’ll be in our new world
Where the golden brown skies remain
Where it is always full moon phase
And with flowers and birds abound
We shall tell our story
To the heavens above

Soon I won’t fear to endanger
The friendship I share with you
By confessing I’m in love with you
Soon we’ll stop pretending 
And stop acting best friends
When within, we are lovers

Soon we’ll leave the world behind us
To the clouds above us
To tell the painful story
Of how best friends changed to lovers
Maybe in our dreams
Or maybe in the next world
But until then, that’s if it will come,
We have to accept the humble truth

Soon I shall be a man
And you a woman
To understand some seeds can’t grow 
With some other seeds
Soon we’ll learn to accept
We can’t be together
Except in our fantasies, of course
As we bow to the humble truth,
Just remember, I will always love you
My sweet friend and lover!
