Unknown Feelings

We have been friends,
  A long time now, 
I love you more each day,
  I know you have a woman 
Of your own,
So I dont let the words
  Get away.
When I see, what she does 
To you.
  It makes me want to cry,
After all the pain you've
  Been through.
I feel like I should try.

Let me just love you.
  Let me show you what 
Is right.
  Let me put my arms around you
And, give you love tonight.
  Let me show you what your 
Missing,  from the evening
  To days light.  
You are my hearts 
desire, ive waited for my entire
Life.

  A man as fine as you, 
Should not be treated, so unkind.
  My thoughts are so confused
If only you knew, what was on my mind.
  She could never feel for you,
What I harbour within, my soul,
  Your that special man to me, 
One I long to hold, 
  
Is it not that obvious,
  The ups & downs we've shared.
 The memories both, good & bad
Our hopes, dreams, and fears.
  The arguments & disagreements,
Sometimes, you see my view.
  Friendship, love & trust, 
I also see that, do you?
When we share a greeting, 
a laugh or just a smile.
  Do you ever see or feel, 
The emotions that I hide?

Let me just love you,
  Let me show you what
Is right.
  Let me put my arms around
You, and give you love tonight.
  Let me show you what your 
Missing, from the evening to
Dayslight.  
  You are my hearts desire, 
Ive waited for my entire
  Life.

A lesson that ive learned in life
"Love does not wait"  
So here it goes,  I must convey
& spill my guts, with faith.
  Risking our friendship
Is such a scarey thought.
  But living with, the what ifs
Really truly hurts.
  Now my unknow feelings,
are, finally set free.
  Vulnerable yet honest, 
Hope you take a chance on me.
