More Than Friends

Submitted by ajones on December 18, 2007 - 12:49.

You brighten up my way, you know,
Light every path I take.
You’re by my side when I need help
With every step I make.

You talk with me, and laugh with me,
Even when I’m down.
You always know just what to do,
To right-side-up my frown.

I know you’ll be there next to me,
Until the very end.
And if my heart gets broken,
My broken heart you’ll mend.

You’ll stick with me, I know you will,
Through happiness and gloom.
If I look back and you’re not there,
I know you will be soon.

If we could be more that ‘just friends,’
That’s what I would do.
How much courage will it take,
For me to say ‘I love you.’
