Our friendship instantly came alive
in moments of bliss, I tried to survive
sharing deepest emotions with you
appreciating encouragement so true
loving the way you guided me through
sad moments, not knowing what to do
always picking me up, when I was down
smiling through sadness, instead of frown
and I loved you for being so sincere
making life easy, tender words to share
we met, what an awesome experience
but, sadly found it a strange occurrence
you were there, but quietly at a distance
could not fathom this strong résistance
we were only friends, you did ask me flat
we could always trust each other on that
was this seen as so wrong, a willful crime
we never touched nor kissed, at any time
words were the only way, means to speak
in friendship, climbing towards life’s peak
Why is it now, you have to totally ignore
everything we shared, what we had before
not even a word, why this sudden change
as if I didn’t exist, it’s so awfully strange...
I surely did no wrong by being your friend
now, sadly it’s lost, came to a sudden end
I do not understand, why there should be
this estrangement between you and me
I know your circumstances all too sure
respect that your motivations were pure
understand your commitments and life
was this such a burden to you, or strife?
your wish made me strangely wonder
happy thoughts I could fondly ponder
said you’d like to have met me before
what was the reason...I am not so sure.
