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
