I had a friendship once
 
That I treasured
 
And held very dear.
 
He wasn't an inspiration, or
 
Someone that I cheered.
 
We got kind of close
 
But it was not me that he chose. 
 
Even so I knew that he cared.
 


I saw this man fall
 
Then loose what he had sowed. 
 
Sometimes I held him close to me
 
Though I had to let him go.
 
I never told him, and 
 
He never really knew.
 
How sorry I was that
 
I had to send him away.
 


But, I had not seen him for so long
 
And a new relationship I knew.
 
He did not understand,
 
That you a friend was all.
 
It hurt me to tell you
 
That this my friend is true
 
I fell in love with him, and 
 
He wasn't excepting you.
 


Many years have gone by
 
But I haven't yet forgotten
 
The friendship that we shared, or 
 
The way it had ended.
 
Then I saw you the other night
 
And I still can't believe it's true.
 
The change I see in you
 
Reflects the change I feel in me.
 


Never had I ever realized
 
That in your eyes I'd see

The man I was in love with
 
Such a long long time ago.
 
I wonder if you ever knew
 
Or if I let it show.
 
You see, I can't even remember
 
Something I did not even know. 
 


I am glad to see you better
 
And standing straight and tall.
 
It helped a lot to see you
 
Realizing that I missed you so.
 
I don't want to remain strangers
 
Like the years gone by have been.
 
Yet I know I am being foolish
 
Because he's still not gonna let you in.
