JUST A FRIEND SHE WAS

She had danced the dance

She had sang the song

She had done it all

She hovered around him like a bee

It seemed like he didn’t see her

She really tried her best

She had ignored the rest

She even became his best friend

They took walks together

But he never really saw her

She laughed at his silly jokes

She cried with him

And dodged his naughty pokes

She clad herself in beautiful clothes

But still he dashed her hopes

How was she to tell him?

She knew what she wanted

And by these thoughts she was hunted

But still she stayed

Unwavering her love and loyalty was

---

Her company was like a soft cushion

Comforting and motherly

She was patient and unchallenging

Respectful and simple

His life she made orderly

Just a whimper

And she would come running

Loyal and true to him she was

Her love could make one joyful

But still she was just a friend

He had eyes for another

Another who never cared

A beautiful damsel so fair

Hard to get and rare

A sweet challenge he loved

He felt so hurt

He shared his pain

And there she was again

In her arms he found sweet bliss

But just a friend she was
