I began to have feelings for my best friend, who is with someone. I couldn't help feeling for her because she was so kind and caring to me, more than my friends ever have. She told me that she had feelings for me also - so, I had to write this as my gift to her.

This poem originally was published in Love Poems - Love and Friendship Poems

My Gift To You
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"

    I love this poem. It says exactly what is in my heart. My friend has no idea of the extent of my love. It is the hopes and dreams of what might be that keeps me going because being with them, not having them and living with the fantasy is better than not having them in my life at all.
  • Crystal

  • reese
    i like this poem because it really touched me. it reminds me of a poem my boyfriend wrote to me sometimes when i here love and friendship poems it makes me cry because it really means something to me
  • Ashley
    This is the sweetest thing ever. I've seen guys admire a girl even though she has a boyfriend but not like that. That was just amazing. Any guy that will write something like that about me is some one i would love for life. This girl is crazy if she wont give him the time of day . But if he hasnt told her about his obsession(in a good way), he should walk up to her now. And if he doesnt he is crazy. And if she doesnt listen to him she needs a reality check. QUICK!
  • rosemary
    i loved this poem as it expresses, how i feel about someone very, special, to me, and thats all i can do is to love from, afar, in a similar, way
  • hannah
    your poem is ecellent, it made me cry. i went through a really bad break up this summer,(we dated a year and 2 week) he dumped me for another girl. I loved him with all my heart and i still do to this day. we were best friends before we stared dating and he will always be my best friend till the day i die. No matter what he has done to me. this poem tells how i feel about him thin, now, and to this very day and for ever. i have forgiven him for what he's done to me. i an one of few people that you will always forgive someone for hurting me no matter the situation. to me he was an angle sent from God.

    This is one of the poem that really ment something to me B/C its basicly about a friend that is willing to wait for another friend and will be there for her B/C he really loves and cares for her. making a poem for some one that you are close to and feel you are in love with em' but yet they are taken means you really got a strong heart and who ever wrote that. AWSOME job and i hope every thing worked out!*!

    It's such an impressive poem. A lot of words you compared with one another are completely nice for everyone's memories to remember. I agree " I love you" this short sentence is as powerful as great love we need.
  • Emily
    I really liked this poem because I have feelings for my bestfriend and I really hope he realizes that I love him. In the beginning of school he really liked me but I didn't like him back. I told him that we were just best friends and he understood. After, he started to go out with girls and now summer vacation is here I finally realized I loved him from the start, I just couldn't say it in the way. My dream is for him to realize and for us to be together forever.

  • Ariana
    I like this poem. One of my good friends had sent me this poem, but after he sent it he said it was by Lonely Shadow. He did not try to change anything about the poem. This poem should not only be noticed by others, it should be out for others to know that their not the only ones with a friend that they like and wants more than a friendship. Also the person who wote this poem should be warded for its good work.

  • Bekah
    I think this poem is very great and obviously the person who wrote this is in love with someone, but can't tell them because they're heart belongs to someone else. This poem touched my heart because I to am in love with someone, but they don't know it because my friendship with them is far more important to me than losing them by teling them that i'm madly in love with them. Well, g2g so, l8ter. LOVE ALWAYZ, Vampire15 A. k. a. Bekah

  • Pink
    Very good! Especially for someone who is going through the brink of being in love with their best friends, but afraid to tell them! Such as myself, I am falling for my best friend, but I think he does have a clue, reading poems like this lets me know that I'm not alone and it's not wrong to feel this way about your best friend. Much love to u and keep up the good work!

    My friend and lover said goodbye to me today. She has set off to another land. The pain I feel has no equal. I try tell myself that pain is just weakness escaping the body.

  • Jennifer
    There are no words to express the way I feel about this poem, except that, at this very moment that girl in the poem is me. And every word expressed by this poem has been said by the other person which happens to be my best and wonderful friend. And my heart goes out to him for caring so much.
  • Sharon
    I read the poem and felt it reflected my situation perfectly! It made me smile but feel sad at the same time, for sometimes you find a love that you just cannot have.

    Your poem made me realize that Friendship is so easily crossed into Love that we forget that we are just supposed to care for our bestfriend not fall in love with them.

I am so desperate sometimes that I lie in my bad at night and cry just because of her. Thanx a lot for this Poem

She's seeing someone else though and I don't want to ruin anything that makes her happy. I've been trying to find a way to tell her i love her without destroying our friendship.

  • jazmine
    you have written a beautiful letter to your friend as i can see it. It's really nice to have a friend like yours and it's really hard to find as one so be carefull cause love isn't immortal as friendship
  • Donnatella
    Poet, I like this poem. It sounds as if a love triange is in the mist. These things can be deadly and someone is going to get hurt. Someone needs to make up their mind. This is a good description of the, ever so often, love triange. Don't just listen to your heart, listen to your mind as well.
  • Shine
    Thank you for posting this beautiful poem. It helped me to understand and accept that what I am feeling for a friend is a beautiful thing, although painful. It's nice to know I am not alone in my joy and sorrow.

  • Dark
    Very Creative, Touching and I give it Two Thumbs Up because it describes my situation in life.
  • JONATHAN

  • Cham
    I can really relate to this poem. I like it so much I'm going to use it to express my feelings to this girl that I have grown to love.
  • nadine
    THE WORDS IN THIS POEM WERE SO ELOQUENTLY PUT THAT THEY SUCCEEDED IN REACHING ME IN A WAY THAT FEW POEMS OF SUCH SIMPLICTY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO. LIKE SO MANY OTHER COMMENTORS ON THIS PARTICULAR POEM I MORE THAN ONCE HAVE FELT THIS PARTICULAR WAY ABOUT SOMEONE. I WAS GLAD TO READ THIS PARTICULAR POEM BECAUSE I THINK THAT THE WRITER STRONGLY FELT THE WORDS HE WROTE JUST AS I DID

  • priscilla
    i think your poem is great, because it just make me think of my own very,very,best friend
  • Boo
    What I found most touching was the effortless grace the poet uses to make each reader feel like they are the ones in love. To disclose your love to a friend is one of the hardest choices; when you know your friend is in love with you is an even more challenging position. This poem gives us all an opportunity to make the love between two friends less disarming and more a celebration of your friendship.
  • Janice
    Don't I wish my best friend would have told me that. Oh well, at least he is still my lifelong best friend.
  • bambamm
    This poem speaks. I currently love some one who is petrified of the level of commitment I present. Only thing is that they dont' know that I know this. I have known her for a while, she always involves her self with guys that she clearly knows are not going to work. I am patient though, I have been here for a while now, I'll wait some more. This poem reminded me of her.
  • prasad
    it is really nice one keep it up
  • elena
    i wish this poem were for me from a special person who i love. how simply beautiful to share such kind words. i think i'd fly to him tomorrow like an eagle if it were.
  • Hawk
    Good poem =)
  • Chris
    The poem was wonderful. It hits the feelings I once had directly, and I believe that is why so many other people have voted for it. It captures the essence of that love, half-hidden away for your closest friend.
  • Delly
    I Like it
  • Dave
    I know the sentiment of this work only too well. Well done Lonely Shadow.
  • Matt
    You expressed exactly how I feel without too much symbolism. Easy to read and appreciate
  • Jigga
    This is one of the most intense poems I've read in a long time. I say this because it put into words exactly how I feel about one of my friends. Thank you Lonely Shadow and keep up the good work.
  • Irene
    After reading this poem, I wanted to cry. Right now I am going through the same situation. I want to tell this guy who is a very good friend exactly how I feel, but I am afraid to because he has a girlfriend. But the thing is, is that he shows alot of interest in me. I really like how you poured out your heart into expressions that everyone can relate to. Good job on the poem. It was very heartfelt
  • ryan
    thats tight im goin through that right now wit my friend kristin and that is exactly how i feel ur good u should keep writen and keep inspirin ppl

  • Susan
    This verse really says it all for me. It's just how I feel right now. It expresses just how one needs to suppress their feelings in order to keep their friendship. I love this poem.
  • M
    This is an incredible poem, it sings to my heart as it reminds me of a similar situation. I am sure that the woman, for whom this was written, knows in her heart your true feelings. For such strong feelings to be expressed in a poem, this love will be impossible to conceal. Thank you so much for sharing your poem.

    That poem was so sweet, it was great to have someone tell another person in so much depth how they really feel.
  • Patrick
    This is one of the best poems i ever read!!
  • Khryste
    This poem is simplistic, yet for anyone that has been in this type of situation it hits very close to home. Thank you Lonely Shadow, you put into words what my ex-bestfriend and now present other half took two years to show me. Had he taken a lesson from you I would have known true love much sooner, but never the less it was finally said and it seems that the chance taken by fate has won.
  • Kristen
    I think that this poem is so beautiful. It captures the meaning of true love. I also had the same experience of liking one of my friends, and this poem describes exactly what I have felt. This poem comes from the heart, and that's what makes it so great. I truly and deeply love this poem, and I wish for the best to the author. Once again, it's really beautiful.

    I just wanted to thank you for this poem. I have recently moved away from my bestfriend and she means the world to me. But i really wanted to explain to her the feelings that I am experiancing when I am with her. I do not have the guts to tell her about my feelings, but I need and want to. Luckily I came across this poem and it vocalizes every thing I want to say to her, so i printed it out and am going to give it to her when I see ehr tonight, cause I am back in town to visit, but I desperately wnat her to come back with me.
