Love That Can Never Be

Over the years I watched you grow, from a wife to a girlfriend to everything in between. I sat and watched from the sidelines hiding the secret to scared to say. From all the drama and hassle of what is become I suffer in silence. I loved you for years yet sad and true you had someone else who wanted you to. I watched as you went to be with her, I advised against it yet it was unheard. I watched you mad, happy, and sad still to this day the words left unspoken.  As time gets longer from the time we met, somewhere along the lines I lost the bet. For you had to only look at me and see the secret I’ve kept from setting free.  Now is a time for my confession after all that hassle is done I want you to know that I loved you for years but it can never be. You have your own path and I have mine and our love will never be intertwined. I have suffered in silence this burden I bare to scare to tell you and scared of losing you. On my lips, the words came out hoping you realize that I loved you from the start. On the wings of a dove I send you my love, forbidden and hidden cuz it will never be. Thoughts of you run through my mind unsure of place and time. You are there no matter what the fights the words that hurt so much. The tears and fears you put me in, was well deserved cuz I wasn’t a friend. I am protective and jealous of her she got what I wanted and I got what I deserved. But here I am standing tall before you I fall. Our love is forbidden and cannot be, yet I’m here asking you to choose me.
