Bittersweet emotions 
	course my veins.
Dying hope and dying love
And others -
	of that same nature.
"Friendship" is a convoluted beast -
Contrary, sometimes
To the workings of the heart
Which longs for more
	in one
Though not reciprocated
	on another's part.
And still, though I deny it,
My secret heart 
	sings for his nearness,
Though another part of me
	mourns
That he is yet
	so far
		away. . .
