Meeting You

jmg

The times were normal way back when,

It seemed that I only needed a friend

Then you appeared out of the blue,

We spent time together, I clung to you

If I would known now what I was doing then,

I would of staid farther away and not of been your friend

I got too close and cared to much,

Times got tense and some times got tough

I learned the hard way I could fall in love with the idea of you,

But I would be destroying anything that was remotely friendly and true

I swore to myself this wouldn't ever happen again,

I swore that I would only hold someone else as a friend

So to you I say a sad farewell,

I can not spend more time to tell

My heart is already beginning to ache,

Which tells me how many steps backwards I need to take

As I stand and look at us as strangers,

I can even see that becoming a danger

All I ever wanted was to forget the past I ever knew,

I did that by starting over with befriending you

So I gather this way the tale shall end,

I shall give my love to no one and be alone to attempt Zen

I know it won't happen as you will be on my mind,

Then I shall come back to you as the path is easy to find

Really does it matter how this all ends??

I can't get rid of you in my heart my dear one, my loving friend.
