Just a Family Friend

Lovely as always, she walks slowly by
Her face so elegant, found with a smile
I know she's nice, she's very much perfect
But she was the reason I had no effect

She fits you so well, it's hard to break
Tough my heart is, you give and take
And when you asked me about how you'd ask
I gave you the answer that made you last

A friend by mind and family by heart
That at least, we'll never part
Even though I'm just a friend
I'll fight for you, I will defend

Years have passed, I'm still just a friend
What will make me never end?
I know it's this, I know it's true
But will you ever say I love you?

Rejected and hurt, my sweet endeavor
We will never be together
But I'll accept what was to be
Ten more years before you realize......

It has always been me.
