Sorry, I love you

We’ve been friends since childhood,
Until the time we came to adulthood,
We’ve been together since times of play,
Until the time came to us for serious play.

We’ve been supporting each other
In everything we opted to do,
We’ve been shoulders to cry on,
When life seemed to be cruel.

We’ve known each other’s secrets,
Keeping them with no regrets,
Until the time came on me,
Intimate feelings for you I hid.

Everytime we’ve been together,
My heart seemed to pound so strong,
Everytime we are apart from each other,
My heart seemed to grow fonder.

Now I’m in front of you,
My flame of courage starts burning,
Not knowing how to say the words
I’ve been longing to say.

“Sorry, I love you”
Is what I want to say,
Will this end our friendship,
Or this will start an intimate relationship?
