~~Perhaps.....~~

Perhaps there was a reason

Why the time was never right

For us to be a �couple�...

Way back then I thought we might

Perhaps I was too subtle

I should have looked you in the eye

And told that I loved you

And suggest that we should try

Perhaps it was that fate stepped in

And had a little part

To make sure we stayed �just friends�

Protecting both our hearts

Perhaps we needed time to grow

And emotionally get strong

To keep ourselves from sorrow

Of another love gone wrong

Perhaps there�ll be a time in life

If ever we both are free

No other�s hearts we�d have to hurt

So together we can be.
