Can You See It In My Eyes? by Sandy Fioretti You don't know how I'm feeling. I have yet to vocalize Desire deep inside me. Can you see it in my eyes? I tremble when I'm near you Heat travels up my thighs and I want you with an urgency That I just can't describe. Dare I reach out to touch you? Do you think you'd realize How much I want and need you? Can you see it in my eyes? I long to say, "I love you," But am scared of your reply. Terrified like a child I've become paralyzed. The camouflaged emotions Lead to pain and silent cries. And yet I just can't tell you. Don't you see it in my eyes? Confessing through this poem My dilemma summarized. The feeling's quite cathartic, But will lead to my demise.

Coffee Lovers by Aindréas Brennan Silently, He smiles to himself, As he thinks of her, Sitting alone in her kitchen, Sipping coffee. She thinks of him too, But little does he know it. Shamefully, Both pass each other every day, Without passing on the knowledge, Of their inwardly turned love. Time and time again it happens, For who has the courage to say it first, Or do they just enjoy, Their secret love affair.

Company by Tina K Where are you going, where have you been? My dear, close, and quiet friend, As we sit in the soft springtime Saturday's end Taking comfort in each other once again. Tell me your stories and I'll tell you mine; And so we will pass a few hours time With the quaint and the comic and even sublime - Silently searching for that elusive sign. We'll fashion the future and polish the past, Allowing the memories to amass; While the grains of sand slip through the glass 'Til a tranquil lull pervades at last. Conversation fades with the eve's golden light, We cannot go on, try though we might; So you gather me an embrace so tight, And we wistfully, longingly say goodnight.

The Mistake You Cannot Forget by Ashlie You say you cannot forget And you aren't ready to forgive But I need your friendship More than you'll even know I need you there to live Without you by my side today Life's been going, oh so slow I miss your calls Our endless talks The places we would go You can't even bear to look at me, And I know my mistake For because of one night, And a few thoughtless actions, When you saw me you ran and hid I know we cannot take it back As much as we would like to But we could forget And start all over Just friends, that's me and you If time is what you need, Then I guess that's what you'll get But I need you there for me soon, My friend, I hope you will forget.

Can We Still Be Friends? by Kathleen Sheppard I was cold and hurting lost out in the night wandering and searching for heaven's light I saw the night sky clearing when you spread your rainbow wings But little did I know what joy you would bring From that moment on a friendship did start you kissed away my tears and sheltered my heart I bless the day God sent him from above But then I grew fearful for I had fallen in love I told you this feeling and what did you say? You said you liked our friendship and that's how it would stay I cried for a friendship I thought I lost But then felt your warm, gentle hand You then whispered in my ear that by my side you'll forever stand

My Gift To You by Lonely Shadow I live through my dark existence only to bask in your beauty your eyes that shine like sapphires your smile that brightens even my sad existence I envy the wind that runs through your hair that touches your lips I long to touch you to hold you in my arms but I cannot for your heart belongs to another so, I can only love you from afar your friendship means more to me than anything this world provides but like an angel you touched my heart in a way that I've never felt before cause I've never known what love is until this day I know that we are only friends but my heart wishes it to be more so I will still hope and dream that one day I can feel your lips pressed to mine to hold you in my arms and say, "I love you"
