It was just your back that I saw today
I didn’t see your face cause you walked away.
I don’t know if it was just me or the day
But I felt like you’re so distant, are we okay?
I tried to follow you but you disappeared
I tried to send you a message but that is weird.
I tried to look for you everywhere
But you were not in sight. You’re nowhere!
You’re my friend, and that is all
But why is it that I feel I’m starting to fall.
Oh please, boy, don’t let it happen
Because I don’t wanna be hurt, if our feelings deepen.
What I’ve been through, you have known
We have shared the stories we own.
I believed your words, I believed your acts
There is nothing else that lacks.
But why is it that when you are near
I give a genuine smile but inside me is fear.
Afraid that you’ll see how I feel for you
Afraid that you might just feel it, too.
Don’t worry cause I don’t expect, I don’t assume
It’s just that others do presume.
I don’t really understand my feelings inside
I just want you since then to be by my side.
You may not be good in everything you do
But I love the way you give friendship a value.
I like your eyes and your sweet smile
Even your sweet voice I can hear between the miles.
I looked for ways to spend time with you
And you didn’t fail me, that’s true!
You even sheltered me when I feel so blue.
Did you know all along the feelings I have for you?
To my dull days, you have brought life
To my lonely face, you have brought smile.
To my gloomy days, you brought light
You even mended my broken heart.
Defense mechanism, that’s what it could have seemed
But I swear that situation I haven’t deemed.
To use you in anyway, I never intended
You’ve always been a friend I run to, talk to and never pretended.
Right here, right now, I’ll say
You’re my little shining star every night, everyday
And you are a shield that protected me all the way
Never did you try to push me out of your way.
But now I believe I have to stop
Before my broken heart tries to pop!
To my feelings, I have to say goodbye
And to you, I have to stay away for a while.
I’ll not let this feelings grow even more
I’ll let it pass and put things just like before.
I thank you for the smiles you brought me and for being a companion
You’ll always be a little shining star that gives me inspiration.
