The feeling of “more”
 
The strangest feeling when I look at you,
A feeling so innocent, strong and true,
A feeling so confusing to my heart,
A feeling maybe only on my part?
 
We have been best friends for a long while now,
And lately I have been wondering how,
It is possible to ever want more,
So much, much, much more than ever before.
 
This feeling is my secret deep within,
Never to e revealed, not with a grin,
Nor with my words will I ever reveal,
To me, though, this does not make it less real.
 
At the same time I wish you felt the same,
Even though loving you was not my aim.

"The strangest feeling when I look at you,

Alright I like this part, BUT!

The last line doesn't chime as well as the rest of it, though repetitive it works =3

"We have been best friends for a long while now,
And lately I have been wondering how,
It is possible to ever want more,
So much, much, much more than ever before."

this last line here of this stanza is very chunky, I'd suggest one much? or maybe a more impactful choice of word?"

The rest is lovely =3 It brings back happytimes, and awkward ones too.
Very emotional, and insightful to the person reading it into the authors perspective.

Awww, this was so cute. I enjoyed reading this. The poem itself all flowed nicely. I love how you made two lines rhyme as it was easier for me to read. It has a lovely format. I could only see one spelling mistake and that was in the third stanza. You misspelled "be", but that's a simple mistake! :) There was one other part that I didn't really like. In the second stanza it says:
"It is possible to ever want more,
So much, much, much more than ever before."
I think you should take out one "much". It just sounds weird to me, but that's only my opinion. I might be reading it weird or something.
Overall, I really enjoyed the poem. It was short, sweet, and easy to read.

Hello There........

I absolutely loved the poem!! I loved how it pertains to my life, it is like you just wrote this poem about me. :) MINOR issues though, so let's get started.

In stanza 1, I would switch lines 2 and 3 to make it more...........smooth. :/ I know it might sound a little crazy but its true. OR the last two lines you could like reword a little. Let me show you what I mean.

"A feeling so confusing to my heart,
A feeling maybe only on my part?"

You could make it like this; " A feeling so confusing on my part.
A feeling maybe only in my heart"


Second stanza, the only thing I would say to to take out the extra "much". Once again it would make it more smooth. I know I mention that a lot but the smoothness of a poem can really make it great!

Third stanza, you forgot a "b"!!!! :) Simple mistake everyone makes. lol Also I would maybe change it to this.....

"Never to be revealed,
Not with a grin nor with my words
To me......"

......and continue on with the rest.

Lovely poem and hope to see some more poetry from you again!! :)
