Never Knowing...

My heart grows werey.
Days are long and dreadful.
The man I long for never sees me in front of him.
Never knowing how much I care for him.
I want to tell him how much I care for him but
I don't want to ruin the friendship we have.
I wonder what it would be like to be with him.
Never knowing what to say or do when he comes near.
Afraid of making a fool of myself.
But if I never do anything about my feelings I will never  
know how he feels about me.
What will he say?
What will happen to our friendship?
Will it fall apart or will it grow stronger?

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
