How lucky. A friend you're comfortable with Where talking is not a necessity But stays by your side and in need Giving you warmth and security. How sly. Enjoying and loving the company So much, that losing it hurts Until one confessed, so canny So unfair, at first it was nerts. How uneasy. Like nothing happened, nothing heard Guilt and depression never left Selfishness, insensitivity increased a third But for all's sake, it was all kept. How selfish Liked you, missed you. Indeed selfish Wanted to try and see what will happen But will it not break us? it just became a wish Guess, it might be the best then. How to say goodbye I say goodbye. Your romances will be missed, Sweet talks and how we used to be It will be awkward, we might get ****** but, We're originally friends, remember?
