I Can't Love You

We are good friends, that is no lie.
There were no relationship ties.

I never worry about what you think.
But now my heart begins to sink.

The words you speak make me sick.
I know I must say something quick.

You are like a brother to me.
Is this something you cannot see?

Depression seems to follow you.
I wish that this just wasn't true.

Shadows of past are creeping in.
Laughing memories are left to grin.

I'm not the girl you used to know.
I've changed, can't you let me go?

I can't believe how this turned.
Why haven't I ever learned?

I can't return your feelings for me.
This just simply cannot be.

I'm sorry this wasn't what you wanted.
"It still can be." Your words have haunted.

"I don't think so." I did reply.
I watched you as you went to fly.

Don't come back, we've grown apart.
I hate to say it, here's your heart.
