For my friend who will never be my love
You touched my heart,
And left your name,
And from that start, my heart
Shall never be the same.
I longed to walk with you
Arm in arm, to the end;
But now, what I must do
Is be your near, dear friend.
My love is still there,
And always will be;
But to hope for you, I must not dare;
To choose your path, you must be free.
So as dear friends we will embrace,
And I’ll be your friend, cause friends we are.
And, once in awhile, I’ll gaze on your face
And love you dearly from afar.
