Let me say it now
For I may be not be around
For much longer now

I am glad that you are in my life
If only now and then
And only for a while

The stars are closer now
But they don’t shine
I’ve healed a little though
Sometimes I even smile

I was saddened once by a single thought

That we would never share the things I thought I’d want
But I was foolish then, because in truth it’s fine
That I was never in you thoughts
The way you were in mine

My heart is cold again
It’s safe this way for me
Too cruel’s the fire of a love not meant to be

Come what may now, ‘tis simple truth
I will always be a friend to you
