Let Me Say It Now

Let me say it now
For I may not be around
Let me say it now
For I may not be around
For much longer now

I'm glad that you are in my life
If only now and then and only for a while
The stars are closer now but they don't shine
I feel a little though
Sometimes I even smile

I was saddened once by a single thought
That we would never share the thing I thought I'd want
But I was foolish then because in truth it's fine
That I was never in your thoughts
The way you were in mine

My heart is cold again
Safer this way for me
To cruise the fire of a love not meant to be
Come what may now
'Tis simple truth
I will always be
A friend to you
