I am honest with those I desire to be.
You will not know me unless I choose it.
Take value in yourself if you hear my inner most thoughts.
You have a value to me I would not soon trade in.
I like you as a person, but more important,
I love you as a friend.
I am not a person whom most will want to know.
But you choose to and so I am jealous to let this go.
Forgive me if I seem too open, too expressive of my fear.
I try not to overwhelm but I can see the lines of stress.
I'll try to release my inner most in a more timely fashion...

Please don't let me lose this chance to learn something more.
I want to know you as badly as I press the knowledge of me.
Nothing will cause that to change because I have chosen to be your friend.
Friendship is bond I never make lightly because of the pains it can cause.
But your friend I want and need to be.

Find in me an open receptacle of understanding.
I want nothing more than for you to look at me and know no fear.
Know that I will always accept you, always care for you.
Never will anything you choose to hide scare me from your side.
I am a friend even past the day I am chosen to die.

friendship...
Turnerdwarf...This is a powerful statement on friendship. I find a slight contradiction where you state first that "you" will make the choice of who to know, and then put the choice on the reader "But you choose to know".

Regardless, I think it is an honest and a well written free verse poem, and since what we write often reflects our own innermost principles, I think it must also be quite an endorsement of you as a friend. I look forward to more.
