Where it has to Stay
I remember back when we were much younger
You were just a little girl in my eyes
Those four years between us seemed much longer
I remember the day, I told you goodbye
You told me that you had always loved me
Told me you dreamed of being in my arms
Through tearful eyes said you hoped we would marry
I said I loved you too
But dreams just don't come true
The love I feel for you
Is like a big brother's
I just don't look at you that way
You will always have a
Place in my heart
I'm sorry but that where it has to stay
The years have passed, just flew on by me
A trail of broken hearts, I left behind
And every now and then, I think about you
Your memory forever, in my mind
So I looked you up, to ease my curiosity
You said you would meet me at a local bar
When I saw you, such a beautiful woman
My heart ached for you
I knew what I had to do
We talked about the past
Relationships that didn't last
How we both were searching for
The one we could adore
I was reading all the signs
Thought I knew what was on your mind
I fell in love with you
I thought that you had too
Until you held my hand and said
The love I feel for you
Is like my big brother
I no longer look at you that way
You will always have a
Place in my heart
I'm sorry but that's where it has to stay
Just because
It's a love that never was
