We met, we loved, and then you said "Friends."
I said
"Goodbye," then "Hello," then finally my heart found the end.
Or
so I thought until I saw you again.
Seeing you again opened
me up inside.
Seeing you again, it made me again find
the
place in my soul where you'll always be.
It's a place that no one
else has managed to see.
Still I'll live without you, as long
as that's what you want.
I'll go on living, and try to have
fun.
But I'll miss you so, every moment that I live.
And just
so you know, still anything I'd give.
You're happy now, with
him, it seems.
If you're happy, then that's how it should
be.
If you're happy, please, keep living without me.
But if
you ever want what we once had;
if you ever decide you want me
back;
all you have to do is ask.
Until then, or forever,
I'm here as a friend.
I'll be here, however you need me, until
forever ends.
