I Would Be Lying
I made myself a promise a long time ago
No matter what I'd never lie to you
Although we've gone separate ways
To that promise, I've always been true
I’d be lying if I said after all these years
My feelings for you don’t still run deep.
It doesn’t matter I haven’t spoke to you.
In more years than I’d care to remember.
There’s something about what we had
For some reason I can’t seem to let go
I’d be lying if said, I think of you everyday
But when thoughts of you cross my mind
I like lingering in them for a longer time
Than I’d tend to do if you were any other.
Even up this moment I often question how
Old feelings survive the way that they do.
I’d be lying if I said; I’m not in love with you.
Not the passion kind we were accustomed to
A kind of love with a much deeper meaning
As a special friend would have for another.
That kind of love means more than anything
Without exceptions it’s lasting and enduring
I would be lying if I gave you any reason.
As to why you crossed my mind today
Although without your ever knowing it
You still make my day in the fondest way
