  FROM FRIENDS TO LOVERS By Merwyn Gomez

I never thought we’d fall in love,  
We were just friends, that’s all there was.  
But as days went by and by,  
I felt a strange feeling, I wondered why?  
For every time I looked at you,  
I felt my heart beating as if calling out to you.  

But I ignored this feeling,  
For I was in love with a girl, who knew not of love’s true meaning.  
And when she left, I was sad,  
As I promised myself that I would never love again.  

But, you and I met once more,  
And my old feelings began to grow,  
And then it was that it struck me,  
That you and I were made to be.  

I still remember the day I proposed to you  
The way you sat there; so quiet, so shy  
But when you said yes to me, I felt I could’ve touched the sky.  
And when you put your hand in mine, I knew then that this love was divine.  
And I love you my darling,  
For I know that now and forever, you’re mine.
