i love you with all my heart i love you, my friend
by lynn smiley shall i run or hide
and die inside
or pretend
that i never knew you, even as a friend?
can i go back in time,
before your hand was in mine,
or erase the kiss,
that i will forever miss,
or forget your eyes
that seem to hypnotize?
can my mind erase
the feel of your embrace?
how can i forget all of this
and pretend it doesn't exist?
i want you to know one thing that will never end -
my love for you. i love you, my friend
