I Never Knew

You told me you'd always love me,
And would always be by my side.
But I never knew when the day would come
That your love for me would die.

I used to hate you will all my might
And dread talking to you at all
But soon those feelings passed,
And I WANTED to see you in the hall

You soon became my everything,
And you were always in my heart.
And that night on the beach, when we sat alone,
You read me like a chart.

You knew how I felt about you,
And you had always felt the same.
So you decided to get serious,
And stop playing childish games.

As your hand soon found mine,
I truthfully smiled at you.
Right then, I was so blissfully happy
It was the only thing I could do

Our relationship grew strong
With every ending day.
And soon I realized that
With you, I could find the way.

You taught me how to play poker,
And how to properly throw a ball.
Late at night, we sat and talked
Sometimes about nothing at all.

I thought I had the world,
But that soon would end
I never thought the day would come
That you'd stop being my friend.

One day, you didn't call me,
But I just let it go.
I should have talked to you, however.
There were many things I didn't know.

Was it that I was getting annoying?
Had your old feelings returned?
I didn't want it to end like this...
It was worse than getting burned.

I had to know what was up,
So I asked to take a walk
And just like on our first night out,
We sat on the beach and began to talk.

You said that you didn't love me anymore,
But you had promised that we would never end.
I guess for you it was easier
To consider me as "just a friend."

And as the night took its toll,
And the sun began to set,
You kissed me one last time,
And I knew you'd never forget.

All the times we shared together,
Through the good and the bad,
I never doubted your faith in me,
And its a good thing I never had.

Even though it was the last time
I took a walk out on the sand,
I'll never forget the feeling
Of my fingers holding your hand.
