Years of Friendship



"Love is all about timing"
These words could come out
When you realized you're already losing
Hurtful words that could cause drought

One day, you would realize
I couldn't beat time
I was with her
Yet, I couldn't tell her

I met her first
I liked her first
Yet, I was not on her list
She couldn't see me, do I look like a beast?

I may have spent many years with her going on trips
But, those years were only years of friendship
She never had romantic feelings
And that reality stings

It was unfortunate
She was with a guy on a date
It was unfortunate
I could only wait

Years passed by
I was still shy
Things had changed
Yet, my heart still tried to wait

She was with a man
Buying rings they will be wearing
She was with a gentleman
On the day of her wedding

I was with no one
Only emotions in a gun
I didn't even bring a present
I could only bring my unimportant presence

I couldn't stand the sight of the wedding cake
It seemed to have a very sweet taste
I couldn't stand the sound of the wedding band
They played songs which I couldn't understand

If I pulled the trigger
It would be a disaster
But, seeing her wearing the wedding ring
Made my heart suffer

It was her special day
And it was hurting me everyday
It was my fault
For not being able to tell her

Our years of friendship were useless
Now, that she's married
My life had become a mess
Now, that she's dead
