Platonic Soulmates

I never knew growing together could bond us for life
For as long as I can remember you were my life
When everyone wanted to push me down you picked me up
No matter how long we go without words it's like time is non existent 
I cannot count the number of times I thought about you
I began to think you forgot about me
Everyone does at some point 
The battles of spelling tests to school bullies to being torn from eachother 
We fought together and I hope we always will
I believe I loved you and for all I know I still do but I need time to learn to love another
We have the history of course and I know that you're probably the one
We walked down the isle once as kids
Perhaps one day it'll happen again but when we're older
Just like our mothers hoped
Every birthday and trauma, you were there but now I need to make new memories and keep you as a friend 
I still tell you more than I tell even my friends closest to me
Because low and behold I can't and won't stop loving you
You are my bestfriend and I never want to be apart
But until I find out if I'm loved in return by someone new 
I cannot go back to you

You have expressed your feelings well Caitlyn. Sadly, no one wants to be put in the "friend zone" if they love you. However that is life. You can easily love someone without being, in love.
