Only a Friend

My dear friend

Why art thou only?

I speak of my dreams

I tell of my thoughts

I share freely my love

The truth you know

That is in my heart

The feelings I feel

Out of the shadows

The love I have

Burning in the hearth

All these you know

Yet still here am I

Alone and dreaming

For dreams have no need of change

So unlike my heart

Which cries for change

A friend only, yes

And I fear forever

My heart yearns for love

The love of your heart

Which is denied by

The heart of my love

My friend, yes only a friend

Why art thou only?
