Once before

You made my eyes light up
every time i saw you
when you spoke
i would melt right beside you
we said it was love but
what was once before
is now no more
it hurts us both to say
we went our separate ways
but i feel it was alright
i didnt want to be stuck unhappy
and fighting it just wasnt right
i'd like to be friends
if thats okay with you
because i dont want to loose
the love i thought was true
even though it wasnt real love
i love you as a friend
what was once before
could never be again.
