A line I wrote so long ago
Still resonates within
I gave myself some good advice
And said, Dont fall for him!
Alas! My heart, it paid no heed
And then before I knew
The words were absent in my mind
I went and fell for you
I told one person, and then another
My mouth, it loved to speak
It seemed as though the whole world knew
Within about a week
Before too long, they gave advice
And often said to me
"You've got to tell him how you feel"
"You've got to make him see"
I could not do these simple things
For I was filled with doubt
And so they told me what they saw
(I could've done without)
They produced the proof in front of me
I let my judgement sway
Then one took it upon herself
And told you right away
You said we'd have to have a chat
But that did not arise
The hurt was coursing through my veins
And pouring out my eyes
And then one gloomy Tuesday night
The fated words were said
Your feelings were platonic
I felt like I was dead
For months and months after that
My mood swung up, then down
One minute I'd be smiling
Then the next I'd wear a frown
Throughout this, you were patient
Gave time for me to heal
But still I was so mean to you
To prove the hurt was real
I apologise a million times
You will never know my shame
At wounding one I love so much
And causing so much pain
I miss you more than words can say
And how it was before
But things are in a better place
This, I know for sure
And now (at last) I'm letting go
We have to let this mend
Please know that I will always stay
Forever as your friend
