One and Only

This poem is a little personal but I like the way it turned out.

I've loved him since I met him,

It was three years ago.

I keep my feelings in a tin,

One day I'll let it flow.

He knows that I like him,

But has heard nothing more.

To tell him would be a sin,

It would break me to my core.

I don't want it to be the end,

just like a broken pin.

very beautiful writing!
i was actually in a situation recently where i liked one of my really close friends, but i decided to tell him that day because i didn't want to have to feel awkward about it (plus, i trust him so i didn't really care if he felt anything back or not, and i know he wouldn't have been mean about it). so.. i just said that i liked him, and we're still very good friends now :) it was scary and nerve-wracking and before i sent the message my whole brain was screaming "are you sure you want to do this?" but i did anyways and i can honestly say i'm glad i did c:

very touching poem and one that i could obviously relate to :) great job!

i don't have an opinion for now but a question - what is the broken pin at the end?what does it mean?

[Theo Ratcliffe]

When I wrote about the broken pin, I always think about throwing it away. Why keep something that's never going to work? Why not just throw it out and forget it ever existed.

thanks. that is very profound.

You've got my word, I won't tell him anything. A Very nice poem, you've written here. It's not cliche, but to say it feels classic is an understatement.
