Farewell, my Love

Now the time has come to say
The things I couldn't on that day.
Because I was so scared, so shy
Not knowing where your heart would lie.

Know that I love you, till the end
Even if I must love you as a friend.
Though I wanted more, I'll bow out
And be your friend through all doubt.

Because even without the love I sought,
So many things friendship has wrought.
And I would rather die this day,
Than let that friendship fade away.

I tried to go along with love's ride,
But I kept my feelings locked inside.
Now I'll move on, and I'll let you go
But I'll still be the best friend you know.

You can always come to me,
With any problems you see.
Even if I seek another's hand,
My Pledge still stands.

"I will always be attached to you,
But I'm never going to feel the same."
