Is it real?

I love him,
and that is true.
but we can't be together
thats something i always knew.

no matter how much it hurts,
no matter how much i cry,
i can't have him
but i really love this guy.

he makes me smile,
when I'm feeling blue.
And touches my heart
like you never knew.

he's always there,
to lend a hand.
when I'm falling deep,
there he stands.

Will be Friends forever,
but is that all i feel?
is this just a friendship?
or is it real?
