You Were Just a Friend

I never really knew you,
you were just another friend
but when I got to know you,
I let my heat unbend
I couldn't help past memories
that would only make me cry
I had to forget my first love
and give love another try
so I've fallen in love with you
and I'll never let you go
I love you more than anyone
I just had to let you know
and if you ever wonder why
i dont know what i'll say
but I'll never stop loving you
each and every day
my feelings for you will never change
just know my feelings are true
just remember one thing
I love you

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 help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
