Best Friend

Let us forget the past and start anew
Make terms with the present and look forward to the future
You and I have made a wonderful past together
Sad to say it soon ended because we were not meant for each other

I have loved you with all my heart
in all these years that have come to pass
Though the oceans took us apart
God knows, I have been faithful enough
I held on to that love despite the raging storm
I never did expect that you’d let go
especially at the time when the coast is clear

Life’s like that, they say
I must move on
You’ve left me wounded and alone again
But time will heal my wound someday
And though you’ve left me for somebody else
I will always be here for you as a friend

Someday I’d learn to love another man
Walk with him before the altar and vow to him my love
I’ll give him as much love as I gave you
I know I’ll be happy, too

Be happy wherever you go
Life would be rough but you’ll make it through
Take care of the love that she’ll be giving you
Make it your guiding light
And hold her dear in your heart

Our love taught me many things
And now we face another chapter
We’re no longer lovers but merely friends
I have to face life alone while you’re with her

I have to close my eyes and forget the past
Without any bitterness in my heart
For though it hurts to think you’ve let go
You’ve left me with something better, this I know
For now I may have lost a lover
But you’ve left me with a Best Friend
