We Are But Friends
A lie was told
And wanting it to be true
I accepted it whole.
Though we were one
And it seemed happiness was there
I had a feeling I could not share.
Though for a time I did what I could,
You were distant and cold and
I should have known then
To another were you sold.
I refused to see the signs
And instead sought advice
On how to get you to be more kind.
Then after my last failed attempt
To show you my affection,
I finally admitted
To be we were not meant.
And before I could muster my strength
To end the affair,
You came to me and confessed
That though for me did you care
We are but friends
And that bond you dare not tear.
So we talked
And decided to call it quits
But the flame of our friendship
Would always be lit.
