Mistaken identity

I think that you remind me of someone

So I shall approach you with great caution

You look like a boy that I had once known

He never seemed to like being alone

We met each other through one of our friends

How were we to know our love would not end

We fell for each other right from the start

And from then we never wanted to part

No -- you couldn't possibly be my Ted

A few years ago he was pronounced dead
