I know not what I felt deep within me,
But what I felt was special and rare.
Something that has never happened before,
A longing to see you more and more.

You hold a place so unique in my life
With ideals and dreams that we share.
Each moment I think of you, it is with care.
Then what is throwing me into such strife?

I feel in myself, a torment of a secret
That is so true, but I always hide it from you.
I picture you in each frame of my life.
There is always a constant longing in me to
Whisper your name lazily but tenderly.

Why these hide and seek then when
You stand before me, why this guilt feeling?
Oh my friend, I feel like a sinner whose sin
Is to have made friendship interpreting
For the divine feeling that was love.
Lord, kindly answer for me from above-
How may I repent for this sin of mine?

I feel I had built for us a mansion of sand
That will fall in the instant blow of the wind.
The solid foundation that was placed
For a good friendship has lost its base.
The trust that my friend laid was deprived
By my infatuation, by my hasty craze.

I know it is too late to redeem what was lost-
For now I know what I felt for you was more
Than friendship, I shall remember the past
When my feelings were true and pure.
The sorrow still remains for I had lost you
Because I was blinded by the love for you.
