One of Those Things

was it beauty or friendship 
or both into one 
whatever you did 
it had to be done 

was it the smile of honest truth 
so seductive and right 
was it fate or fortune 
that brought us that night 

it had to be love 
that drove us apart 
it was one of those things 
that broke my heart
