Love Denied

As friends now,

Friends we shall remain.

Any other thought

We shan’t entertain.

 

‘Tis foolish to believe

In our becoming

Something much deeper –

A bit more loving.

 

We know in our hearts

As well as our souls,

That the love we once felt

Is a story untold.

 

For the flowers have wilted

And our love has died

Our friendship has remained,

So don’t fret at love denied.
