As friends we met some time ago
And through the years our friendship grew,
But that was not enough for me.
In time I fell in love with you.
You never shared the love I felt.
You tried to say it wasn’t right
For me to fall in love with you,
And yet I dreamed of you each night.
I hoped and prayed that someday soon
You’d come to feel the same for me,
But soon I came to realize
Our love was never meant to be.
