Wish you were here,
To hear you laugh, to see you smile
All those years ago, i should have told you
How much i liked you,
I should have told you, I liked you more than my friend
Yet here i am years later, still having a crush on you
Looking back i should have said yes,
Even if it wouldn't last more than a few weeks,
I should have admitted to liking you,
You would have known then, how much i liked you
As more than my best friend.
