More Then Friends

From far away, i have known,

you were a friend, and we have grown.

    It is your heart, that is always with me,

the times we shared, to close it could be.

    Never did i want to say, 

those things to make you want to stay.

    You were always there to heal,

and every time it was for real.

    I have something i want to explain,

and tell you of my love's restrain.

    It's hard to know, to be just friends,

when i want more, forever end's.
