Just a Friend
Written 7/17/99
Just a friend, is what she said,
and amazingly, I didn't want to be dead.
I had exposed the love I had kept secret,
she listened, and rejected it.
But she did it with words so sweet,
and she told me, the friendship will still keep.
At first I did feel pain,
and I had a sense of shame.
But her sweet words helped me heal,
and still being friends is ideal.
Because I can care,
and when she needs me, I'll be there.
Not as love, but as a good friend,
and I'll never leave her, I'll stay till the end.
You may say I'm crazy, that I should shout,
but why should I, things just weren't meant to work out.
Maybe they will someday, but I don't mind the wait,
because being friends with her, is great.
