Invisible

I know, I'm invisible to you.

Here, but not, like an unwanted ninja.

The shoulder to cry on, but to never embrace.

The friend to love, but not like that.

I have loved you for so long, from a distance, three feet away.

Telling you would set my heart and mind free, to be wrapped in the joy that is you.

Or, telling you would push you away, freak you out, force the words out of your mouth I already know and am so afraid of, "my best friend".

I can't lose you to my selfish heart, can't, won't.

I will stay invisible, right by your side.
