Too Late

The closest I’ll ever be
Is a friend by your side

I would not ask for anything more
Since it’s hard having something to hope for

Because the end it never turns out
The way you expected and wanted

So I am content in being there for you
Supporting you all the way through

Even though you see me as a friend
I guess I should be happy that you did

The times I feel glorious are the times I see your smile
Pure and warm, but somehow very fragile

And I am glad to share even a portion of that happiness
Because I know, you have to celebrate it with someone else

When you are close to breaking to tears
I will cheer you up and make you feel better

But deep down, I am silently hurting
For I am helpless, seeing you suffering

I want to lock you tight in my arms
Make the pain disappear and make you feel home

Yet I know my place is here
And not where I aspire

Because someone else belongs in that embrace
She is the one who brings sunshine to your dark eyes

And she isn’t me

As years have passed, we moved our own ways
Somehow by wicked twist of faith you see me

Time has a way of changing things and people
Somehow the transformation was hard to tell

As we sit down for a cup of coffee and biscuit
We discuss about career and end up talking about the past

You share to me all of your relationships
You say all this time you’ve been confused

And you suddenly realized that I was the one you loved
For a moment, people froze, time stopped, my heart skipped a beat

It was like I was taken back in time
A time where hope had been

It was so long ago that many things have transpired
Many people have come in between and have vanished

I thought you were one of those memories lost
That’s why I tried my best to forget

But why do you have to ruin my world once more
Just when I have found someone who loves me the way I loved you once before
