A Poem

Thanks to Jacqueline for submitting this poem.
This is a poem written by Lynn Smiley. It reminded her of Eric and Greta because it is a poem about what it's like when a friend falls in love with another friend.

I Love You, My Friend

Shall I run or hide
And die inside
Or pretend
That I never knew you, even as a friend?

Can I go back in time,
Before your hand was in mine,
Or erase the kiss,
That I will forever miss,
Or forget your eyes
That seem to hypnotize?

Can my mind erase
The feel of your embrace?
How can I forget all of this
And pretend it doesn't exist?

I want you to know one thing that will never end -
My love for you. I love you, my friend
