She came into my life
Unintentionally, just because
That’s what I thought of our friendship
Until my soul was forced to love

She was younger to me
By just a few months
She gave me a smile when I needed it
But only then it happened, once

Thanks to my stupidity
My incredible ignorance
I did what a moron would do
Destroyed my innocence

I told her one day

I know that we’re close
And I value our friendship
But my feelings for you
Have blossomed into lovesick

I have never felt this before
I don’t know now why I do
But some magic you’ve played on me
Has caused this feeling towards you

I hope that you can hear me
And what I’m saying to you
I ask, can we be together?
Will what I ask for continue?

She told me on that day
With a smile on her face
I may be falling for you
I guess we’ll just wait and see

My hopes soared high
Higher than ever before
I understood the love of life
And why it was precious evermore

But then the unthinkable happened
And she came back to me
I’m sorry my friend this will not happen
We can never come to be


To myself I thought
Everything’s ok
We were friends once upon a time
Friends we can remain

But she didn’t believe
That such a thing was possible
Awkwardness settled in
As a barrier impenetrable

The first time I had ever fallen
Was the biggest mistake of my life
I should’ve stopped then and there
Now a lost friendship is all mine

I attempted to rebuild
What we once had
But we had grown apart
And so love became sad

She no longer needed me
As much as she used too
She has others now
A useless soul was what I understood

And so I have emerged
With a greater sense of pain
Of what the gift of friendship is
And its failure to sustain
