Friends,
Just friends…
Why is this so hard to say?
Can’t you love me for just today?

Words cannot express
This emptiness I feel within.
Each day I see your face,
Wondering if ever and when.

And further and further I drift,
Losing you more each day
As you leave me behind again and again
To suffer in my loneliness.

Yet I see the way you look inside,
Search my eyes,
But still you play your heart as cold
And leave me alone to die another day.

Each painful touch of your fingertips,
Each stare of attraction you hide within,
Please let me wake up
From this trap you hold me in.

Each time I try to take the final step
In leaving you behind,
You come to me
And pull me right back in.

Misleading is this life of lies
We dwell in
Separated from a connection
That refuses to sever.

So my love, take one step forward
And admit to me,
Or my step is one taken backward,
Away from you and me.
