nightfall we're brushing past your town

destination not you my one

the driver doesn't know way down

how deep these bright-eyed feelings run

I've no intention of confessing today

I need to make distance awhile

but miles don't make your image fade

they don't erase this secret smile



everything reminds me

wet gray gold-lit street

shop displays near-lovers meet

I feel the grasp of your hand still

this your face now in the glass

breathing whisper what is this

bent so close we nearly kiss

although we never will



strange that there's no hurtful need

used to be my only sign

on my mind would make me bleed

why is it that I'm feeling fine

why is it this warmth within

no candlelight that causes burn

memories of you begin

well welcome friends

glad you've returned



everything reminds me

music surging bedroom dance

crazy spinning sultry glance

I inhale your presence still

these your arms of daring grace

encircle me what pact is made

desire is your masquerade

want me you never will



you gave me truth I chose illusion

now we are used to this confusion

but I know

yes I know this story has to end

never groped for a connection

never hoped for more affection

for I know

I know I am your friend

only your friend
