If I told you I had feelings for you
Will you run away and hide?
If I told you how deeply I care for you
Will you look in my eyes and lie?
If I told you I know its love unrequited
Will you comfort me while I cry?

Would it ruin our friendship to hear my words
or should I keep it all inside?
I love you!
Do I tell you and risk losing everything...

A beautiful poem that manages to reflect the difficulty of such a situation whilst at the same time capturing how delicately it needs to be approached, as well the consequences of choosing the wrong path.

It flows really well; great choice to keep the last two lines seperate, as it portrays the thought that goes into the final, all-encompassing question, as well the reluctance to ask it.

I love it :)
