The Time We Spent As Friends

Today is better than the day before,
And tomorrow I'm sure to be even more
of a memory so distant and far from your cares.
Still I wonder quite often if your heart ever dares
to remember me and the time that we did spend
together, the time that we spent as friends.

I made it no secret, offered no such disguise.
Willing to stay hypnotised by your eyes.
The sound of your words so tender and kind
A symphony filling my heart and my mind
with wonder and questions of how this could be
Can the splendor of you be intended for me?

Helpless to fight what pulled me to you,
your touch like a magnet; your words overdue.
The spell was then cast and in it I remain
bewitched and alive at the sound of your name.
But no incantation or spell could it change
the call of your heart which did not feel the same.

Which leaves me here now at the end of a trail
where I must decide if indeed i did fail.
I turn and look back to see just who I was;
before I knew you; before I knew love.
And declare it no failure and strongly defend.
Success was every day that we spent as friends.
