Just a Friend and Nothing More

You look at me and smile
seeing the friend that stands before you
you give me a hug and bid me farewell
I return the gesture and say nothing at all
for I do not mind being the friend you know I am
but I cannot deny that in my heart
every night I wish upon that shooting star
that I will one day be something more
more than that girl you think of as a friend
or you talk to in the hall at school
I wish I was the one
you would ask to a dance
or you would call and talk to late into the night
I wish upon that star
asking for a dream to become reality
and reality to be nothing more than a dream
I know it will not happen
I know it cannot be
because I know that inside your heart
she is still the one you see
the one you wish for
and dream about at night
the one you would ask to a dance
or talk to until first mornings light
as you walk away I wonder if you'll ever know
that I wished upon a shooting star
and yet you still walk away from your friend
a friend who will care more than you'll ever know
