Just Friends

An urge to speak
Not that I must
But it is your attention I yearn
Or maybe affection
From my recollection 
It's not just words that memory keeps
Sometime in the past
Before silence would last
There were secrets for just you and me
I Remember it well
The days that once held
A new found intimacy
The slightest of touch
A wink and nudge
Your tease made me weak in the knees  
Those moments we had
Aching, breathless and that
Is the way which we used to be
now, That's all long gone
Cause Something went wrong
our story had come to an end
So We sit here outside
Alone, side by side
And quietly try to be friends

Nice rhyme scheme and flow. Makes you sad for the narrator at the end. The 'friends' thing never does really work...
