We're not in Love

I've heard tales of people suddenly realizing that they are in love with their friend. This poem is about the opposite of that experience - It is about my experience with someone who I knew as my lover and then realized that while our relationship would never work, I had found a friend I would cherish forever.

We're Not In Love
by Tina K

So often people say they found their lover in their friend.

I just have to wonder if they?ve found a means to fit their end.

I thought I knew you for so long, but now I?ve come to see

That this man is a stranger, and you don?t remember me.

For the first time in my life I wanted someone I could keep-

To treasure me both heart and soul, to hold me in my sleep.

When I saw you I was overjoyed, my search at last concluded,

Who knew that I would come to find that I was just deluded?

Because as we grew together something still kept us apart,

I have your body and your mind, but I?ll never have your heart.

And I still wish that we could have that true love and forever,

But reality stole my happy ending, leaving me with never.

And if you asked, what would I say?

Would I dare to throw it all away?

Would yes be right? Or is it no?

But we never ask, so on we go.

And still I know that in the end,

You?re not my lover but my friend.

This is the truth that I despise

When I suddenly realize:

We?re not in love.
