Too Late

We started out as friends
as I denied the feeling

You  came to me
because you wanted more meaning

I did too but I was scared
so when you tried to be there, I left

I acted like I didn't mind,
'cause I didn't want to be bereft

I couldn't believe you chose me—
over anyone you knew better

But I carried on as if I never met you
'cause I thought things would get better

To be honest, I was finding it hard—
to keep my distance from you

But I think what I did was right.
Do you feel that too?

Time has come,
I finally got the nerve to look you in the eye

It was mesmerizing,
it almost shook me inside

I tried to mend what I tore
but the damage was done

I came back too late,
all the feeling was gone
