I was wrong, I know, it was her body, I did adore,

It is gone, it is lost, now it is friendship I implore,

I must have erred, in those first three days,

On my mind, this thought always plays,

She is lost, this I know,

But I want a full friendship to grow,

I think the friendship is lost, down the drain,

We both got caught up, in a game,

Our feelings, will never be the same,

I made a mistake, I began to care,

These feelings she never did share,

Never again will I show this side of me,

Never open, never bare, for the world to see,

I will not apologise for what I did,

But I'm not a three year old, a kid,

I know what I want, I know what I need, I'm a man,

The lady to whom I erred, an fill my plan,

A lady full of real love and desire,

Can light up any mans fire,

As I said, it's not what I want, I want a friend,

A friendship that will last, right until the end,

I made a mistake, I began to care,

These feelings she never did share,

Never again will I show this side of me,

Never open, never bare, for the world to see,

All I want is to be someone, with which you can speak,

I'll be calm, sedate, I'll be very meek,

Your friend, is all I really want to be,

Alas your hatred is out of hand, and you can not see,

What can I do, to make things right,

I am sick of our daily fight,

I don't think that I have done anything really bad,

You don't care, that I am broken, I am sad,

I made a mistake, I began to care,

These feelings she never did share,

Never again will I show this side of me,

Never open, never bare, for the world to see,

You have a husband, I have a wife,

I'm not trying to cause any strife,

Being mates, being friends,

Upon you, this depends,

It was you, I tried to love, I know I lost,

Please don't let our friendship be the cost,

Those moments we did steal,

Left a memory, so unreal,

I made a mistake, I began to care,

These feelings she never did share,

Never again will I show this side of me,

Never open, never bare, for the world to see,

Please be my friend, that's all I ask of you,

I hope it's not too much for you to do,

Knowing it was a relationship formed on lust,

Now a lasting friendship is a must,

Our moment is gone, probably will never be again,

Please trust me, with problems, pleasure and pain,

I know what we had, does not mean much,

But to those once pleasant thoughts, I do clutch,

I made a mistake, I began to care,

These feelings she never did share,

Never again will I show this side of me,

Never open, never bare, for the world to see.
