My Old Friend/My Old Love

My hands are shaking My knees are weak. I try to speak but the words won't come. You are here in front of me I can barely breathe I have so much to say My mind can think of none. How long has it been My old friend? How long has it been My old love? Too long To speak the truth Too long For all the Whys So I smiled When I wanted to cry Then I hugged You goodbye You'll live your life And I'll live mine You'll never know How I really feel inside.
