~Moving On~
There was a time in my life, only five years ago,
When I first saw you, I fell, but couldn't let you know.
Guys had always been the best as a friend.
But I liked you a lot, so I just had to pretend.
Pretend you were just another guy at school.
A basketball buddy; our friendship was cool.
But deep down inside, that's not how I felt.
You had a smile that made my heart melt.
You were always there for me,
But more than friends; we weren't meant to be.
You soon got together with a friend of mine,
But we still became closer in a matter of time.
Then our eighth grade year quickly came to an end.
I stood crying in your arms; I was losing a friend.
Things didn't go the way that I thought they would.
We were both at the gym every time that we could.
A strong friendship we had until she came along.
There went our friendship, so quickly gone.
She didn't want you speaking to anyone.
You couldn't talk to me. I thought our friendship was done.
I had let you know just how I would feel.
I had to tell you; keep it real.
You realized what you meant to me.
You opened your eyes. My friendship you could see.
We still talk ever now and then,
But I always wonder what could have been.
To this day I have feelings for you.
But you have her. I know there's nothing I can do.
I hope that we always will keep in touch.
I want you to always know that you mean so much.
Even if we never see each other again,
Always remember, I'm here for my friend.
