#28 Better Untouched

This poem is for one of my good friends. I love him to death and wanted more from our friendship, but he would not see to that. I haven't seen him in a couple of months, than just this month, I ran into him at a carnival. As he gave me a hug, I looked back on the good times we shared, and this is what I got.

Better Untouched

by Chole

I look at him,
And a smile grows in my face.
Just to remember the times,
When he could've been mine.

As he gives me a hug,
While he puts his arms around me.
I remember what I would've gave
To only have a chance with him.

But now I see him,
In a different light.
Yes, he still means the world to me,
But now its a different way.

His friendship means a lot to me,
Although we never had much anything else.
Now I see why God doesn't answer all prayers,
Because some things are left better untouched.

this poem is really touching u know. Well, especially because I've also experienced it once before (but with a girl of course). And by reading this poem, it really brings back memories for me. It sure is hard to fall in love with your own friend, you must make a choices, and if you chose the wrong choice, you'll ruin everything. I really like this poem, two thumbs up for the poem and also for the writer.

The way, it describe the times that went passed by, really great. Especially the positive attitude, and elaboraion of meaning of Friendship ,more precisely Love ( that Sacrifice is the real Love) is great.

Mark

My name is Mark, and I live in Northern Virginia near Washington, DC. I am a 44 year-old bachelor who has never married. In fact, Chole, I found your poem only today and was deeply moved. It reminded me of a girl I knew nearly 35 years ago, the first girl I'd ever met. After she and her family left, I thought I'd never see, or hear, from her again. In August 2005, I was wrong. She still remembered me, after a life of upheval, remembered having a huge crush on me, and wondered if her feelings for me had gone unrequited. The note I sent, via her father, told her that her feelings had not gone unrequited. Which thrilled me enormously. But her life has been quite rough; as Chole's poem sagely says, I would much rather treasure her as a friend, rather than needlessly complicate her life by crossing the line. Strange as that may seem. But Chole's poem spoke volumes to me in this case, and she is right. I hope that she contacts this site at some point. Again, if you get this message, Chole, thank you so very much for touching my heart and putting into words how I feel about this extremely special person.

Peggy

I have a friend who I have seen three times in six years. I love him so much and we have both gone on to marry other people, but he holds a special place in my heart. This describes it well.
jezdel

it definitely portraits the unexplain emotion one has at the deepest of our hearts
chelsea beth

totally great poem. i'm going through just that now. i really like a guy at school and we're great friends. i want to be more than friends with him. i planned on asking him out this week. now i'm not because i've realized that he's "better un touched. "
Maria
