The first time we met, <br />I knew, <br />You were special <br />From that one glance, <br />I knew I had to take a chance, <br />But being workmates, <br />I knew, <br />The difficulties ahead, <br />Hiding how I feel, <br />Just in case, <br />You don't feel the same, <br />We seem to have clicked <br />But though you approached me, <br />On so many excuses, <br />I never quiet knew, <br />If you were using me. <br /> <br />I hear your voice, <br />And my heart flies, <br />To the highest skies. <br /> <br />I never said a word, <br />But did give a hint, <br />I guess it's obvious to all, <br />But us, <br />How we feel. <br /> <br />That clear step, <br />We never yet took, <br />Though nearly three years, <br />Since we met, <br />Hiding how we feel, <br />For being teased, <br />It's hard for both, <br />We say nothing, <br />But I know, <br />That we both know, <br />What others hint. <br /> <br />Though offices were changed, <br />We kept in touch, <br />Just to say hi, <br />You and I. <br /> <br />It's hard, <br />Not knowing how you feel, <br />Or what you wish, <br />I know you've been hurt. <br /> <br />You're cold to me in public <br />But nice otherwise, <br />Though nothing has been said, <br />Not explicitly, <br />It's hard to live like this <br />If it's worth it, <br />But the step is huge, <br />For rejection is hard, <br />So I say nothing, <br />We grow apart, <br />But I regret, <br />Every minute of every day, <br />My lack of guts, <br />But it's easier this way. <br /> <br />Only time will tell, <br />It takes guts to show, <br />How one feels, <br />So many do it, <br />Not we. <br /> <br />Perhaps it's early yet, <br />And I make a big deal, <br />If it's meant to be, <br />It will, <br />Patience, <br />We'll see.<br /><br />Holly Moon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/workmates-2/
