I
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 a while.
But miles don't make your image fade,
They don't erase this secret smile.

II
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.

III
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.

IV
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.

Bridge
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.
