You Are Only My Friend

Tomorrow will be here, soon. Way too soon! The clock is to the midnight hour. The time flies when you are here with me. The stars are fading fast, next to the moon. The sun, to quickly, is about to rise. And, once again, you must go. As the minutes turn to hours, I'll start another day of denial and lies. I tell the world, "You are only my friend". Yet, silently, my heart speaks the truth. When I'm alone, the tears will fall. I search for a way to make the pain end. Time seems to stand still , until our next visit is due. Friend to friend, we'll share a secret or two. But, to myself, I'm forced to keep one of mine, And never say, Friend, that "I love you!"
