To a Friend

You were always so perfect to me,
So soft and gentle,
Cherishing you instantly,
Without a second glance,
I never distrusted those eyes.
That lied to me continuously,
I promised you I’d always try,
But slowly you were losing me.

I would always have given you anything,
Just to keep your interest,
Stopping my heart from remembering,
All the pain you had caused,
I never pulled away from that kiss,
That held a painful hint of truth,
Maybe you would be too hard to miss,
So I said I was still in love with you.

I wanted more than just infatuation,
That you found in me,
You said love was a distraction,
That you really didn’t need,
So I cried myself to sleep,
Knowing the times we shared must end,
You couldn’t let emotion run deep,
You said you made love to me as a friend.

But eventually, my love,
Friendships fade ,,too,
And I can’t keep our friendship going,
Pretending I don’t love you.
Never once did I push you away,
But everything comes to end,
So all that’s left to say,
Is goodbye,

I loved loving you, my friend

I let Your mind-games control my life,
and found myself living in too much of a
fantasy that I created in my mind.
I finally awoke when you said
"I'll always love you as a friend"
