Friend or Lover? Friends last forever if you want them to And friends tell each other everything Sexual desires too - But how do you tell a friend That the desire is for them? Will it ruin everything If you open up your heart to them Or will you find eternal bliss For being so honest? I suppose it depends on the friend And how close you are to them And whether they feel the same Or maybe They never thought of you that way It's a difficult decision to decide Whether to speak your mind Or admire in silence Can you handle the rejection If it slaps you in the face Or will it tear you apart? These things you must consider When pouring your heart to a friend - Do friends make good lovers Or does it fall apart before it starts? I suppose it's just a risk You'll have to take When playing this game Of shall I be a lover or a friend Is it possible to become both of them? I wonder For lovers make demands on their partners But friends accept you for what you are So how can you make demands But accept things for what they are At the same time? If it isn't possible to be both of them - Which one do I want? � Elizabeth 1986
