Just friends

by matt   May 24, 2004


I sit and think of the fun we had
And then I think of how it all went bad
And think and wonder why it soured
By lust our love was over powered

What were we thinking when we gave up
Now I just want to say what’s up
When I see you in the hall
While you stand by the wall

Were you and I always sat
That spot was for Brianne and Matt
Everyone knew that it was for us
I even remember riding home on your bus

And being so glad just to sit by your side
Even though I was on a boring bus ride
Even in the worst times of my life
I still always pictured you as my wife

But now I look back and see my mistakes
Now I can fathom what a real marriage takes
It takes a love that no one can know
Compared to that, our love was so low

On the list of what true love can be,
On a scale one to ten, we get a 3
But it was still there and it was great
But when we realized it was already too late

We shared so much we could never get back
But in the relationship was one thing we lack
The strength that it takes to last forever
Did we ever fight? No not ever

But that’s not enough in this world of love
You have to have help from up above
A sweet little angel helping your through
Telling the things you already knew

That you love this person so so much
That you'd die for their every touch
That every night you go to sleep
And because of them you sleep so deep

Dreaming of children and family, your future
If love were a movie it'd be a double feature
I could never talk of what I had
When I find a 10 I’ll be so glad

After that day ill still remember you
Because as a matter-of-fact I did love you too!!
And because all that, we should still be friends
But can we? I don’t know it really depends

You have to forget all the mean stuff we did
Make it an auction put your friendship for bid
I’ll give all I have to be great friends again
But after all that I heard, I feel like it is a sin

To forgive you for what you put me through
But after all I did the same thing to you
Why did we want to hurt each other so much?
But still as a friend I miss you so much

Calling you up when I had something to say
How you handled it in your own little way
And that alone would help me through
And that is the reason that I miss you

Having you there, knowing you care
Having a hug when no one was there
But now I just want to let you know
I didn’t mean to put you on death row

For the smallest thing I pushed you away
And I hate myself for that today
I still want a friend who knows my whole life
But no I don’t want you as my wife

We gave it a shot and that was wrong
We should have been friends all along
Hanging out me and you
And that statement you know is true

We weren’t ready for all that
After all I’m only Matt
The boy in civics who you thought was cute
I’m sure then you knew, I’d get the boot

On the day when looks weren’t enough
And you never knew it would be so tough
To push me away, because I was obsessed
I just wanted to give our love a test

And see if what we had was ever true
Because I really believed I’d marry you
I’m glad we realized before worst came to worst
If we hadn’t I think my heart would have burst

We would have hurt our future life
All because I made my friend my wife
But it seems like that is what is right
Finding a girl with who you never fight

But a fight now and then can never hurt
As long as u don’t rub their face in the dirt
Talk things out, but don’t always give in
But don’t be afraid to just let them win

Let’s try this out; let’s give it a shot
Because I hope as a friend you miss me a lot!!
