Miles Apart

When we talked, the only good thing we did is we made this relationship that of friendship,

When we met we met as a friend meets other friend, not how lovers met,

Lovers fight, they quarell on each other, but friends seldom do that,

But, we didn’t dare to say what we had in our hearts for each other, and our friendship only existed on an upper surface.

We still met, but I was with someone and you were with someone,

We still spent time together, but discussing about our relationships,

Still deep into our minds and hearts, we know we were made for each other,

But we never made it into a relationship.

The only good thing that happened to us was our friendship,

The only bad thing was our friendship,

Our souls were together but our hearts were far away,

Our lives we intertwined but our fates miles apart.
