I knew you liked me
But you didn't know I liked you.
Our friendship grew,
And so did our feelings
We talked, we emailed
Around each other often.
Exchanging glances
We both felt something special.

I loved you,
And you loved me.
We felt each other's pain, sorrow, and grief.
Shared each other's triumph and joy.
Talking at nights for endless hours,
Moments I enjoyed most.
You were all I thought about,
Everything I could need.

I complimented you,
And you complimented me.
But things happened,
Things that hurt us both.
I was caught off guard,
Somehow you knew.
We were vulnerable,
Yet we made it somehow.

You were perfect,
We were perfect for each other.
Everything was set.
Things changed,
We were drifting apart.
Our purpose was set,
Taking "the step" was the next thing.
But I was still lost.

Everything was supposed to make sense.
Us, you and me,
That was supposed to make sense too.
So is it time to go our separate ways?
Love conquers all.
But is ours' the right kind of love
Is this what we should do?
I really can't let go.

You have helped me a great deal.
I have helped you too,
Understand things that we both need.
Loved me regardless.
A thank you I give,
Never quite enough.
Live without you,
I don't want to happen.

Your strength,
I admire.
Your wisdom,
I am awed.
It all felt right,
But now it's weird.
Our future unsure,
Something I want to avoid.

The signs lead to the obvious.
But is this another test?
To see if we survive
the perils of life.
If this is to happen,
I will greatly miss you.
But that doesn't mean
that are friendship needs to end.

Memories to cherish.
Dreams to follow.
Goals to be set.
It all works out for the greater good,
God has a plan,
This we both know.
Together, you and I,
One way or another.
