Make confession, better make no confession

Love, friends and friendship became a puzzle  for me
This puzzle that I could hardly solve became a tragedy 
That I found myself in the middle of the puzzle. 
At first I thought solving the puzzle would be easy 
But the more I thought about it, the harder it became 

Confess, don't confess but confess came from all sides
And choosing among the three seemed impossible
Being friends was really cool but my heart wanted more
That I could hardly spend a minute not thinking about it
And I believed love was better but friendship became a barrier 

I approached a friend and he told me to make a move
Moving to another friend she told me not to as
She believed friendship was better than Highschool romance 
Which is childish and faints faster than expected 
Contrasting to childhood friendship which lasts until old age. 

Old age is a dream of mind and a nightmare for your heart 
And our hearts never lie and Your heart is heavier than you know 
And only confession can off-burden the weight. 
A beautiful whisper startled me, my friend true lovers are friends
And lovers are partners, confession will weaken the bond
And patience pays off a bigger bill than impatience
