Ode to a Friend

I don’t want to deny this
So complicating it seems
I've never felt love like this
I knew you’re the one

But friends are friends and that’s all
We've been through ups, we even fall
To be right where we are
There's nothing to lose

Chorus:
Now I have to let you go
Even if my heart tells me “no”
I’m giving up all my joys
I’m now moving on

And whenever I see your face
My friend, these eyes were amazed
I don’t want to break this very moment
I let go of it all

Some say I should shout aloud
Some say I should let it out
Who knows what I deserve
But I’ll let it all go
Oh, I’ll let this go

I don’t want to love someone
I used to laugh
and share my tears with.
I’m here to be a friend
and make the best out of me.

My love for you, I let it go
to teach me not to cry at night
And yes, I chose this,
I did this for the best.

And now I’m glad
You’re still my friend,
At least we’re hand in hand
We smile and run,
You didn't hear, you didn't feel
You didn't know what I feel,
What I mean and what I gave in.
I had to learn what we are
And what we’re not.
We’re only friends...

Chorus:
I have to let you go
Even if my heart tells me “no”
I’m giving up all my joys
I’m now moving on
I’m now moving on...

Now I have to let you go
God knows I’m brave enough
I've got a lot to learn
God knows our time, friend...

I have to let you go
Even if my heart tells me “no”
I’m giving up all my joys
I’m now moving on...


The author's comments:
This is a song lyric, but sung on the tune of "I Won't Give Up" by the great Bruno Mars. I wrote this for my little sister's school project but I guess this also brings about a lot about my "crush life", which is of course, a friend of mine. I want to forget all about this ridiculous feelings for him because our friendship is what more important for me. It turned out that the feeling is mutual, but he never knew about my feelings for him.
