Take My Place

By: siet

Listening to the way you talk about her makes

me realize that the emotions I thought were

limited to myself are being felt by someone else


Perhaps genuinely for the first time


In an instant I realize that my position though

likely permanent is no longer necessary and

though I know you never intend to take my

place the feeling lingers all the same


If push comes to shove and our friendship is

bypassed by a stronger sense of obligation then

know that regardless of the circumstances there

will never be hard feelings


Because you have always been one of us


Just knowing that I could leave my world behind

me and surrender to whatever waits knowing that

the one person we both love will always be

protected is enough to comfort even the strongest

of fears simply because it's you


Simply because I know she loves you
