14. Stronger now

You came to me, tears in your eyes
And I know I could never turn you away again
We had been close, closer than most
But you decided that you’d found a better way

But we are stronger now than when we were together
The bonds of friendship go much deeper than we know
And if we say we love, we know that love will be enough
We don’t need the chains of romance anymore

And when we broke, I cried and choked
And I swore I would never see your face again
But time goes by, feelings run dry
And all those years we’ve had cannot be swept away

Living with you is the hardest thing I feel I’ve done
Telling myself I must stay put when my feet they wanted to run
But I know you so well, I know you so well
I know you so well, so well

So we are friends, true to the end
And you know here’s a shoulder ready for you to use
You may go far, following your star
But there remains here someone you will never lose
