There is someone I like
but I don't want to
ruin our friendship
by saying something.



To Tell or not tell [of one's heart's desire]

To tell or not tell
someone how you feel?
consently questioning
wheither what you feel is real.

There is this guy I know
a really sweet man,
Honest, kind and funny
I would like to hold his hand.

Trouble is
we are continents apart
but he is a fellow poet
and our words link together our hearts.

Should I tell him
how I feel?
that like a thief
my heart unbeknowingly he did steal?

I don't want to lose the friendship
of this sweet and wonderful man,
so maybe I should say nothing
and only dream of holding his hand.

Dear,
Loved your theme. sometimes we are afraid that based on telling what we are feeling inside many things may change. so we rather live under the shade than seeing the light if we just try. Sweety, you can never tell !!who knows ??he may be feeling just the same but shy by confessing you will solve that.

Good day,

hi, this is really emotional and lovely, i ve once being in the same situation and i lost the girl. but on the other hand is always good your express your feelings so you dont regret later in future. do what your heart tells you to do.
cheers.

Dear Liz,

I undestand your dilemma: does one reveal one's feelings and risk turning a comfortable relationship into an awkward one, or if the revelation is reciprocated, how is the relationship to develop? Poetbay is a kind of chatroom, though, and perhaps the object of your desire already knows intuitively that they have a special relationship with you.

Good luck with your decision-making.

Regards, Chris

PS I've enjoyed reading the body of your work.

wow
I like this poem of yours
You are really in a tough time I went through this once and I end losing his friendship
Sometimes its better to say
But sometimes it better to keep quite
Anyway
I hope you will take a right decision

no! tell him tell him tell him! just think how you'd feel if you knew someone was keeping that from you! the question was poetically well equivocated though!

Wow, what a question! My answer is-- if you don't ask you will never find an answer and if you don't tell no one will ever know. So my dear Liz only you can decide what is best for you. Perhaps this one is feeling the same way. Perhaps he is not. You will never know until you ask. And, he will never know until you tell. Good luck to you. I hope your dreams come true. : )
