We've said it was over between us,
a million and one times plus ten.
It's so hard to say good-bye to you,
knowing I'll be loosing my best friend.
We've hurt each other so many times,
It's a wonder we both keep holding tight.
I guess sooner or later one of us will stop
and no longer feel it's worth the fight.
The thought of me not being part of your life,
and you somehow not being a part of mine,
is something I can't put together in my head,
it's like poetry with no rhythm or no rhyme.
You try to punish me for my actions,
actions that pale in comparison to yours.
All I truly care about is simply loving you,
I'm not interested in settling any scores.
I don't want to stop loving you,
I don't ever want to call it the end.
I love you and all of your imperfections,
but more than anything I love my friend.
I see everything so clearly through your eyes,
you've taught me so much about being me.
You've even learned a few things yourself,
together better people we both can be.
What a ride this love has taken us on,
a ride so many people wish they could take.
There is no one that could compare to you,
that I am certain there is no mistake.
If there is so much good between us,
let's focus on that instead of the bad.
We waste so much energy and emotion,
trying to hurt one another when we're mad.
I'm not ready to part ways with you,
I'd rather stand firm and fight for love.
to love with such certainty is a gift,
given to each of us from God above.
