Happy Ending

Was I better off just guessing how you felt?
It hurts more to know the truth.
Now though I can put my mind to forgetting you.
Should be easy...
Just stop seeing you...talking to and about you...
YEAH, RIGHT!
I couldn't forget you if I tried.
No matter how far I run you will be right in front of me.
If I reached out for your back would my hand pass through you
Or would you turn in time to take adn squeeze it in a final good-bye?

You won't say good-bye...I'm your friend.
That means more to me than being your lover.
I can't help being sick of being alone,
But with your friendship the loneliness fades.
I know I'll still feel you arms and there will is a kind of love there...
Not the kind the lonely part of me desires,
But the kind the whole of me needs.
