Being Friends

Let us now be friends Just don't call it love, But, I will still pretend The way that it once was, I will still kiss you with love And you will kiss me another way, I'll just pretend how it once was Long, long, time ago; We will hug like we once did Even though if it's in the mind But, now it becomes a curse Unto me and also to my time, I still will remember to a tear How we use to hold each others hand, As we walked down the street as one To the laughs only we'd understand. But, now those days are all gone They went silently with the wind, Maybe one day they will all come back And then maybe we will just be friends; Let us now just be friends Taking one day at a time But, remember if we do it that way We are making love a crime, We are forgetting all the good Retracing all the bad, Not doing the things that we should Not remembering, what we have had, I remember all those tears Not of fears, but only of joy, I still remember all those dreams And the happiness they had seen, You can still be my friend The way that it is right now, But, I remember how it once was; You will always be my love.
