To My Friend
You are amazing
In so many ways you don’t know
Over the years, how great it is
To see where you’re at, to watch you grow
I never thought we’d get this far
Start a grand friendship from a hated past
I never thought we’d be this close
That I’d wish for us to last
Our love is “luv”
Our closeness, undeniable
But what makes us this way to start with
Is what makes our friendship impossible
The rules are the rules
We happen to be the ones that follow
I’m glad we live by standards
But sometimes they’re hard to swallow
I know I haven’t fallen for you
But I guess the danger is that I might
So as tough as it is to be apart
We do it cuz it’s what we know is right
And it’s not so much that I want you
Or that you’re better than the rest
It’s not that I’ve examined you
And decided you passed love’s test
My fascination is not about you
It’s more about the idea of you
How great to be with my best friend
Always, with a love so true
But then reality kicks in
And I see you as my brother
The greatest FRIEND I’ve ever had
You’re really like no other
So as great as it sounds
This idea of you and me
It would never happen
Cuz a friendship is all we see
