We speak still from time to time
But I know you will never be mine
Years can’t change the pain I’m feeling inside
The roads we travelled have been far too long
It’s not filled with love or hope but I guess this is where I belong
*
I remember how it used to be
You told me that you loved me
I said I loved you too
And though I’ll never tell you, I guess I still do
*
There’s no pretending in my fantasy
The one where I still kiss you
And you hold on to me
Still feeling your body warm and snuggled next to mine
*
I know you and I will never meet as friends
Emails and texts’ maybe just now and again
I wish I could say this was fine
But it just reminds me of how you meant it when you told me goodbye
