Love Poem: Like Or Love

Like Or Love

You speak of your love
But is what you say true 
Do you really love me 
Or do you just like me
I lay awake at night dreaming 
Dreaming of what it would be for you to love me
I like you 
But do I love you?
Do I like you as a friend?
Or as something more?
These questions are running through my head
Will I ever like you as more than a friend?
You flatter me with compliments
And shower me with attention
I don’t want to lose you as a friend
Why would I knowingly risk losing your friendship?
You are one of my best friends
I want you to always be my friend
But dating you might ruin what we have
I am not going to risk losing you as a friend
But if I ignore your feelings I might just do that
I need to set you straight
What would you do if I did like you that way
Would you still treat me the way you always did
I don’t want to change what we have as friends
If we dated and had a bad breakup
Then I would lose my best friend
I tell you all my secrets
Maybe one day I will realize we are made for each other
But for now I just want to be friends
Is it still possible to be friends?
Or have I already lost your friendship?
If I have then I will be lost without you
You are what stops me from shutting off from the world
Without you I would have never make friends
I would sit in class thinking of how life could be better
I would never have realized some of the hobbies I have
I would stare out the window waiting for life to begin
I am lost without you
I am glad I met you
If this is the end I am sorry
I will leave you to your thoughts
I am sorry if I ruined your life
I won’t ever do it again
Goodbye
