Poetry Hello Angel

I don’t believe these words will properly express the feelings I carry in my heart for you
I don’t believe any words could ever tell you how much you mean to me
How much it upsets me that you make yourself feel worthless, when you are one of the few people worthy of knowing my real self
How much it breaks my heart to see you suffering, but knowing that I would have to risk our friendship, our beloved friendship to express these feelings to you
I want to love you, I truly do
But if I love you, you might run away
Because you have convinced yourself that you are not worthy of it
You believe you are not worthy
But you are
You have met and exceeded my standards
10 out of 10, my good friend
Five stars, A+, whatever grade or number I must measure out for you to see that you do deserve this
You deserve nice things
You deserve to feel as if you are not alone in this world
You deserve to feel loved
Perhaps not by me, as I am imperfect, flawed, and may bring you heartbreak, but you deserve to feel loved
If I could sacrifice my happiness and good fortune for yours, I would
I would do it, in less than a heartbeat
Because I have done horrible things
I have done terrible things that you will hate me for
But you are precious, and you deserve the fortunes I have been cursed with
Please understand
I want to love you, but I cannot
I value my friendship with you far too much
I value your mental health far more
And I know that loving you would put that friendship at risk, that I would only burden you with my own problems
I would not do that to you
I cannot love you, not in the way I wish to
I cannot love you as a partner, but I can love you as a friend
I will never leave you
Nor forsake you
I will love you as a friend forever
