It Was Perfect How It Was

I met you one lunchtime, I hadn't seen you before

But you knew my friends, so I got to know you more

After a few days, it felt like we'd known each other for years

We shared our hopes and dreams, our troubles and fears

We were really good friends, we talked all night and day

Time was passing on, and you couldn't keep your feelings at bay

Overtime I realised, I liked you as well

You were everything I wanted, but only time could tell

For moments, we were just sitting there in silence

Holding each other's hands, escaping all the violence

You stared into my eyes, you said they were pretty

We kept on talking, you were calling me a cutie

We hadn't known each other for very long

But when I was around you, my heart sang a song

I loved being with you, you comforted me

I felt content, like a bird perched on a beautiful tree

You said to yourself, "I've never felt this way"

But those feelings always leave, they leave one day

We accepted one another, we know each other's pasts

But we had to be honest with ourselves, we weren't going to last

It was hard to accept, the thoughts cast a dark cloud

However, it had to be done, we had to say it out loud

We were on and off, just like a light

Soon enough, our love had taken flight

It felt different, we were hardly talking

I was really down, when I was walking

I thought of you, everywhere I went

I felt so confused, my world was bent

But I suddenly thought, I know I can do this

I can get over you, you're not a huge miss

In my past, I actually did get over it

What's the difference now? Just another flame not being lit

We started talking again, it was so fun

We talked about our days, the time in the sun

I felt so much joy, which is what I lacked

We were fine, I had my best friend back

There weren't tears, there was laughter

We texted a lot, and we Facetimed after

It's a shame we didn't work out, we really did try

But now I'm just glad to have you as a friend by my side
