A Loving Chance

A Loving Chance

There in the midst
of a quick stare.
I saw your sweet
self standing there.

I wanted very much
to say to you hello.
But I felt to shy so
I let my chance go.

Now you are here
with my best friend.
At this church to
be married to him.

I will play the part
of his best man.
I know my heart
will break within.

Why did'nt I give
myself a chance?
To get to know
you in a romance?

He would not have
cared at that time.
You did'nt know him
this friend of mine.

Now I must keep this
secret hidden inside.
Not reveal my love
that will never die.

I know you better
through my friend.
It has increased the
longing to hold Karen.

Love's a subject about
many author's write.
You are my friends wife
Loved you at first sight.

I saw you first and I
and loved you first.
You're his now my
it could'nt be worse.

I will have to accept
our love's not to be.
Though the pain hurts
deep inside of me.

Karen you know I'll
accept what I can.
If it is a friendship
I'll be happy then.

I can't pretend the
two of you don't exist.
I will be your friend
keep secret at my risk.
