The Push and Pull of Affection

Friend, I whisper, but the word feels thin,

A flimsy veil for what lies within.

A deeper yearning, a hunger untold,

A feeling stronger, braver, and bold.


Your absence lingers, a heavy weight,

A longing deeper than words can create.

Silence stretches, a cause for alarm,

A worry far greater than friendship's calm.


This bond's not a crush, fleeting and bright,

Nor the comfort of friendship's gentle light.

It's a mystery unnamed, a yearning so true,

A desire that whispers, "Forever with you."


No path unfolds, no answer I see,

But the pull towards you consumes me.

I clutch your picture, a stolen embrace,

This nameless feeling etched on my face.


I try to deny it, push it aside,

But my heart remembers, it can't be denied.

Wrong it may be, in the eyes of some,

But this love's pure echo, I can't overcome.
