Goodbye, Forever and Always

I try to be generous, since it always feels great
To give to a dear friend, to help participate,
But when I first saw you, I thought it was fate
And for once in a while, I wanted to take.
But I was a coward,
I was scared you'd glower,
And now it's too late to be more than your friend.

All I want from you
Is a kindly glance
All I crave to do
Is be there, holding your hand,
Obviously there's more
But you don't understand
I don't want to be greedy,
For now I just want to be your friend.

L O V E is the way
To spell the strongest word
In the world today,
Please never hope you'll purge
Your mind of my face
'Cause though I doubt that I'll see you again,
Just know that I hope that I was your friend.

All I want from you
Is a kindly glance
All I crave to do
Is be there, holding your hand,
Obviously there's more
But you don't understand
I don't want to be greedy,
For now I just want to be your friend.

I doubt I'll ever see you anymore.
But with the future, you don't know what's in store.
I take a deep long breath and you take a step
In the opposite direction from where we've left.
I want to cry out, there's still a chance to shout...
I could pull you back and let you know
That you're the one who gives me butterfly bones.
Maybe you'd even kiss me, but I doubt that somehow.

But all I want from you is that kindly glance
From those eyes that always sparkle and dance
Even though you're with her, couldn't you hold my hand?
Obviously there's more, so can't you understand.
That when I feel greedy, I want to be more than your friend.
