Just a Friend

Just A Friend I saw you in the school cafeteria Surrounded by other girls A protective wall shielding you from life I watched you for days Never once did our eyes meet There was no chance of meeting you You were too sweet You were too pretty for a boy like me Finally, I saw you all alone Your friends had all gone their ways You looked so sad and alone Nearly on the edge of tears That was the day we met The day I got up the nerve to talk to you You came down off of the pedestal At that moment you were just a girl At that moment I was just a boy We became the best of friends as we spoke That was oh so many years ago Now you are a star Brighter than Heaven could ever dream of I became a poet and a writer Writing poetry of love Writing of feelings so strong they should not be felt I think back of you while I write Of those hours we spent talking I remember the friendship we shared Mind mind shuts down with the thoughts My heart takes over and writes down the words And my friend is in every word, every line And she is remembered with love
