Last Words

To admire you without attachments
to gaze upon your beauty
Because I cannot have you
I must speak cryptically
Words that to others ring true
the same does not for you
Yet and still my passions remains
regardless of how I try
I feel I love thee
until the day I die
For it is on that bed
where I will meet my end
That I will be grateful
to have loved you my friend
You have shown me 
a greater side of living
and personified selflessness
in your lavish giving
The memories I hold most dear
are when you were so near
I faced with you 
the things I most fear
You've held me up with a resolve
I had not of my own
Showed me the joys and comforts
that awaited at our home
All of these words 
simply reaffirm the truth
Your's is the friendship
that I've treasured since youth
