"i wouldn't do that for someone who is just a friend."
you are right
we are not just friends
i suspect we were for a short period of time

but then the tsunami came and completely washed out our entire foundation built on friendship

i built you a city of love — unrequited, i've come to find; with a love song on each corner, one of your many many virtues etched in my mind

all in vain, all in vain it was — for i knew you were taken and had been for quite some time; still i chased after you, i admit the fault was mine

my confession crumbled the buildings, collapsing the marble and the stone all around

my city of love became a town

yet still i loved, so deeply and so true, trying to convince myself that i had a shot with the incredible, inevitable you

it ended the way it began — you ran and you ran and you ran
i watched you go, your words echoing in my head

you are correct
we are not just friends
you are a coward
i am a fool

and this is the end
