His eyes were so blue
And his smile so bright
He stood across the room
And I was unsure
If I should say hello
We were only acquaintances
But he always made me smile
Slowly I approached him
And said a quiet hello
He was instantly smiling
We talked for hours
And I felt my heart
Travel to cloud nine
Hours turned to days and weeks
And my heart fell deeper
Into the abyss of love
But his heart took a detour
And didn’t make it back around
I was drowning in desire
And he was saying goodbye
I was lost and broken
But fate wanted us
To still remain friends
Now how do I tell my heart
That the road to love
Is forever closed
