*sigh* i've been there, man.. i denied my feelings for years, and only expressed them when it was far too late.
but i don't think of it like "i lost" anything. i think i did the right thing by excersizing self-control and maintaining the respect i held for those involved.
if i would have acted on impulse or taken the risk of expressing my desires, which i came so close to doing on almost a daily basis, i could have ruined one of the strongest, most meaningful friendships i've ever built. that would suck.
good poem though, man, keep writing. :]
