Maybe there is a reason
That I remember the curve of your smile
And the sound of your laugh

Or the way my hands traced
Over your face
To just know your skin
To feel the laughter lines
I had created

You knew how to warm me with
your body
And your heart
Still I'm remaining cold
With my guard fiercely in place

There are barriers between us
Preventing the words
That are ready to bleed from my veins
Or anything to break through
That might save this

Those three words you spoke
Set off the smoke

That put our flame out
As my mind filled with doubt

Bringing out chapter to an end

I guess you're still a *friend
