Friendship Love

You want them and need them, but they can't see
Because friendship hides passionate chemistry
Maybe it is best if you leave it alone
And not have true feelings be shown
Love conquers all and that is the truth
For you are not forever in youth
Yesterday's lovers do not make good friends
So is it worth the risk in the end?
To lose something that you hold so near and dear
Perhaps it is best to cry joyful friendship tears
Let them love, but be their friend to the end
And wonder to yourself what could have been

A well expressed write. The line between 'just friends' and love is always a difficult one to navigate, one stands to lose so much. Enjoyed. Best wishes Em :)
