#17 Forgive Me
One day I realized I had feelings for one of my friends. I didn't know what to do. I started to spend more time with her and before I knew it, I asked her out.
I crossed a line and our friendship was never the same. I found this place and felt better about myself because there are other guys just like me. There are other guys who did the same thing.
This poem originally was published in Love Poems - Love and Friendship Poems
Forgive Me
To the ends of time I will love you my friend Knowing that you're gone leaves me a bend An angle to me you were so kind Raising my sprits with ways I can not find Over and over the days with you replayed Loving you so much wished you would have stayed I crossed a line which I know not fit Now each day I die a little bit An empty void replaces what I feel Growing sadder and sadder, will I ever heal From the feeling of love I felt for a friend |

-
AdriaanWow , what can i say , im not alone in the way i feel, im going thru a difficult time right now after telling a very close friend how i feel , things have gone all haywire and is realy screwed up at this stage, i could look at the fact that i didnt receive any sort of a no answer to a relationship as a sign of hope , guess i'll only know for sure when the time is right , fanx the poem realy helped me in a way i cannot describe in words :-)
-
SpiegesThis poem was sooo sweet! Even though you crossed the line and now your relationship will never be the same, if you think about it even if you hadn't said anything to her and the relationship was the same to her, you would still have those feelings for her and to you it would never be the same. I don't know you or her, but i am sure she would have figured it out sooner or later on her own. you can't spend time with someone you care about without them seeing through you! that was a wonderful poem and i believe everything will work out. whether with her or someone else you will find the perfect one for you and if it is someone else, who knows, your friendship with her might return to normal. only time will tell, but you should definantly keep up writing!

amandanot to long a go i lost my best friend. because of a long fight we had for about three or four days and it made me cry why i was at school.
-
AnonyThat was really nice. Being normal friends with a guy isn't easy, at least to me. When he decided 2 leave me. . i felt so heartbroken . .
-
OnyxA poem tragic and atute proportions. Such love bring bliss and contentment. But when one has to leave it behind, it robs him of all the love he habored in his heart and his love for another will never be the same.
-

LusciousThanks alot. I have an ex boyfriend who sent this to me and it reaaly made him thimk about what he has done. See,he got his ex girlfriend pregnant and didnt find out till she was like 6 months pregnant. They broke up 5 months ago, and me and him have been dating for 3 months. Even though we aint going out anymore, he stills finds ways to tell me how much he cares for me.And this poem really hit the spot. Keep up the poetry and I hope to hear more of it.

sja very good friend of mine and i had crossed the line btw friendship and love but now, we are back to square 1 again. your poem really told me how he felt.made me regret what i had done to him..
-
robyni think everyone can relate to this poem in some stage of there life.
-
NathaliaWhen i started reading this poem it just reminded me of my good friend Mike and how much i love him, and now it makes me rethink about crossing from friendship to love, it might be a mistake but if you can't risk love over friendship than what can you risk love for? It's just one of those things. The poem was great, keep them coming.
