My senior high life is me following my path away from her
After finding a part of me that brought great fear
That I could truly love someone like that
And it would never be reciprocated back
How do I be your best friend my first love?

It has been 2 years since we became friends
You were delicate and strong
You were fearful yet brave
I was there to watch how you bloom
As my life was at the other end of the loop

To the girl who was born on the skies of May
Who showed me the beauty of little things,
Commitment to friendships like a marriage ring,
And the kindness I have never seen
The flower Dahlia symbolises you

I love you, as love and as a friend
For sharing your world that I hope would not come to an end
For being the comfort in my uncomfortable skin
Up to the point of another loop, making it even more confusing

I want to run away and hide this feeling
But it would still be there, lingering
I want to face it, so I confessed
I was ready for you to let me go but you didn't
Thank you for doing that

I'm building a barricade between you and me
It's for the sake of our friendship so thank you for letting me be
We can grow as an artist apart yet together
It's how I'll be your best friend forever
Like an invisible ring on our pinky fingers
Because I'm not the perfect love of a tulip flower

Now tell me, how do I be your best friend my first love?
