A friend of mine fell hard for a lady at least 5yrs older than he is,
they occupy different worlds and he realises nothing can come of it but
he's finding it difficult to let go. She regards him as a friend and
curtly shuts down talk of romance whenever he tries to bring up the
subject. She doesn't acknowledge his feelings and told him he shouldn't
even entertain such thoughts towards her. He wrote this poem for her and
got a sweet 'thank you' for his efforts. Dude is in the deepest,
darkest reaches of the friendzone.
