No More

They say we’d be
the cutest couple they had in a while
but neither of us seems so very pleased
by that idea.

I don’t know why that is
but it’s the only thing
we can’t figure out
or we simply don’t want to know.

And it’s rather hard for them
to understand that it’s
no more than it is.
You’re my best friend.

She said
“Don’t you love him?
You’re trying to hide it
but it clearly shines through.”

I said “It’s not love
but maybe it’s more than friendship
could be somewhere
in between.

She lied when she said
that she did understand
that it’s no more than it is.
You’re my best friend.

And you’re the only one
I can call in the
middle of the night
because I had a bad dream
and you wouldn’t be mad
because it’s me
and you wouldn’t be mad
because you know that I need you.

And you’re the only one
who makes me feel alright
when I’m crying on my bed
coz someone doesn’t like me
just by saying
“I’m here by your side”
just by saying
“You’re gonna be alright”

That’s so very easy for you
coz you know me inside out
Still it’s no more than it is.
You’re my best friend.

We talked about us
some time ago and it
kind of hurt to hear myself
saying “No.” so clearly.

And I wanted to say
that I love you,
and I wanted to say
that I need you.

And I wanted to say
that I don’t know
what to do
without you.

Still I’d need to be very stoned
to start something with you
but I don’t know the reason why
I just hope, you feel the same.

Future should decide
weather anything should change.
And it stays no more than it is.
You’re my best friend.
