He was there for her through all the pain
She always kept him close at heart
Yet never seemed to let him in
He loved her like no other
He loved her to no end
But she was so content
To only call him a friend
Chasing any loser who was good at playing pretend
All the while, he remained genuine
She grew to appreciate his compassion
The words of kindness and the way he caught her when she fell
The day finally did come
When she said she could feel the same
She was tired of the boys
And now desired the man
As she called his name, he only turned away
For he had found another
Who loved him to no end
His words were bittersweet
Words she had to hear
That he'd always be her friend
But his love for her had come to end
