Friendship -That’s how it started

​​We were just friends at the start,

Always having fun, never apart
Then one day, something sparked
The next thing I knew, you had my heart. 

The days flew by,
I lost track of time
Every time I was with you,
I was on cloud nine. 

Then one day, you asked me to be your girlfriend
I exclaimed, yes! and prayed we’d last until the very end.
No one could look into my eyes and say I wasn’t happy,
Happy that I was with you, and you were with me. 

With me in your arms, you told me you loved me,
Then gently kissed my forehead and gave me a squeeze.
I was convinced you were the one for me,
Apart from you, I would never be. 

Just when I thought all was well,
Was when you began to put me through hell.
You said, we should just be friends
That’s when I knew it was the end. 

I looked into your eyes, trying to find out why,
It was all I could do, not to begin to cry.
Where I once saw love, I saw nothing,
I couldn’t believe you no longer felt something. 

I lay in bed, counting my tears,
Each representing what I’d hoped would be years.
Years of happiness, for us to be together,
A long-lived life, forever and ever. 

But in my heart, I know this will never be,
For in yours, no longer is there a place for me.
I gave you my all; I gave you my heart,
Little did I know that you’d tear it apart. 

Everyday I place a smile on my face,
As for tears, there is not a trace.
You ripped me apart, but yet it’s true,
Forever and always, I’ll still love you
