Lost Love

I say I love you
You say it back
But you say it with love of a friend
I hug you with hope
That my long lost love for you will soon end
And that this strong friendship will hold throughout our lives
I never kiss you though
That’s going to far
I wish for the days to come
When you’ll take me seriously
But I wouldn’t be the one
To ruin this strong friendship
I won’t lose my friend so easily
For this love that’s like a delicate thread
But if the day comes
When I’m on the verg of saying goodbye
There would be no way in hell
I would choke back those words
Or that hug
Or that kiss
I love you
And I hope to see you again
My lost love
