Just Wanted You to Know: I Love You

October 4, 2017

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. This week’s theme is declaring love.

Today’s poem declares love for a close friend.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Just wanted you to know: I love you.

Months have passed since we became close friends.

Every day I find I'm thinking of you,

Though no word from you that message sends.

And yet we share all other thoughts and feelings:

I cannot wait to tell you of my day,

And you give me the gist of all your dealings,

Which makes me hope we walk in the same way.

Telling you this is opening a door

That never can be closed again, and yet

I must, because I ache for something more,

Something that I must risk all to get.

Some night, I hope, as we hang out somewhere,

I will reach for you, and you'll be there.
