I'm going to smile like nothing is wrong, talk like everything is perfect, act like it's all a dream and pretend like it's not hurting me. ~ Anonymous

I like you
You don't like me
WE are best friends
We'll always be

Your friends convinced me to tell you
How I really truly feel
The truth isn't always easy
But we all learn to heal

I don't really care
As long as you're near
You are my best friend
And I want you to hear
