"Unrequited Love"

(From "Coming Home" Fic)

You moved away

5 years ago

You married, and are now getting divorced

You even had a brief fling with my best friend

But there was one thing that always stayed the same

It was you and me.

Despite the fact, that you were across the country

We kept in touch

We became friends

We became closer

Now, you are coming back

But are you coming back to me?

My feelings for you grew,

It was not the same as when you left years ago.

I fell in love with you.

When you left, I realized what it was that I missed

Now, that you are back

Is it too late?

Have your feelings for me changed?

Will I always remain just your friend?

Or could we be more?

Now, that you are here

In my own home

It seems like you are farther away from me.

My desire for you grows

And so does my need to be with you

But I do not know act upon them.

For I am unsure of what you want

And what you need from me.

So I sit here silently,

Desperately hoping someday

You realize my true feelings for you.

Hoping that my unrequited love

Would be returned by you.

For my unreturned love is killing me.
