You were always so perfect to me,
 so soft and gentle,
   cherishing you instantly
   without a second glance,
     I never distrusted those eyes,
     that lied to me continuously,
       I promised you I'd always try,
       but slowly you were losing me.

             I would always have given you anything,
         just to keep your interest,
           stopping my heart from remembering,
     all the pain you caused,
        You always pulled away from the kiss,
     that held a painful hint of truth,
    Maybe I'd be too hard to miss,
             so you said you were still in love with me.

   I wanted more than just the infatuation,
           that you found in me.
You couldn't let emotion run deep,
 you made love to me, as a friend.

But eventually, my love,
   friendships fade too
and I can't make love and walk away,
pretending I don't love you
Never once did I push you away,
but everything comes to end,
  so all that's left to say,
    is goodbye,

I loved loving you, my friend.

LOVE  is a Universal emotion, the goal we all seek, the prize that
    can make our lives complete and whole. Love is both timeless
    and, in too many instances, transient.

    We all believe, if only because we must, that love can be found.
    Some of us - maybe most of us - have discovered it can also be
    lost.
