Dude or Bro

I've been afraid all my life to say "I love you"
I've said it a million times but it always ends with:
Dude or bro
Since we were young kids,
You always felt this love for me
It seemed so mature that it scared me
I mean, come on we were kids!
You were suppose to have candy and games in your eyes
Yet your eyes were soft, caring and thoughtful
I've loved you dear friend since our competition started
But I didn't love "Love"
I was more afraid of it
Afraid of being casted under that spell,
Not a white spell but a dark one
One that would make me act stupid and forget about my goals in life
What goals could I've had at such a young age, you ask
Only one, really, to not be heartbroken.
I've always been mature for my age
and for that, I don't regret not having told you "I love you"
But I think I might have taken my sweet time and
Now you won't notice whether "dude" or "bro" are at the end of the sentence.

Just let me say this:
Sorry for being coward and selfish but I truly care to tell you that my goal in life now,
is to tell you that,
"I love you."
