My Dear Friend

If you love someone

Set them free

If they come back

It was meant to be

J'taimerai toujours, mon cher ami

I let you go on a cold morning

Away in the breeze

To tend to other things

You said you'd always love me

I had the key to your heart

You have the key to my soul

Why was it so hard to let you go?

I long for your touch

in the middle of the night

I hear your voice everywhere

assuring me it's all right

If I could only hold you again

for a brief moment in time

Remembering the days

and nights that you were mine

I pray nightly you'll come back to me

Praying you and I were meant to be

If you love someone

Set them free

If they come back

It was meant to be

I will always care,

until the very end

I will always love you,

my dear friend.
