Maria

I give her my umbrella, as raindrops drum my back. I persevere the weight of books, as she picks them from the library shelves. I call her in the middle of the night, just to hear her voice. She calls me "friend", I call her "dear". I wish she would know that she's the only girl I call "dear". I wish she could be keen in listening to the way my heart calls out her name; keen in seeing and feeling the way I hold her hand as we jump into a train. I pray that one day her lips will meet mine....

So, tell her you're crazy about her and get on with it! I don't get the line, "I persevere the weight of books,". Persevere?

Hi Teddy, This is such a sweet and tender write. I could sense the longing and desire in every line. But a great friendship is hard to find. I can relate to this piece very much. A Big seven:-) Alexis

Quite a tricky situation, Teddy! Looks like you are both very good friends; I suppose she has a good idea of your intentions, but is afraid to go any further and ruin a lovely friendly relationship! ~ All the best....paul
