I could sit and write a thousand lines

I could try to express what is in my mind

When I see that beautiful smile appear

Upon that face of yours I hold so dear

I'll never give up, I'll fight tooth and nail

Even though I know I won't prevail

I don't want you to provide reprieve

I just want to know you believe

That when I say for you I'll die

That you know deep down it isn't a lie

So I'll sit, as my heart is being slowly choked

Praying that one day you'll see I hadn't joked

I don't ask you to abandon your heart

I don't want to be given a fresh start

I just want you to hear my cries

As these feelings I repeatedly surmise

I've known your soul for a millennia

Never have I wanted to get rid of you

I'll wait until my hairs turn gray

I'll wait til my eyes can't see the light of day

If for some reason you never see fit

To provide space beside you in which to sit

Know that I can never truly be sad

Because you're the best friend I've ever had
