Be Happy My Friend

Far away
Is my love
Long distance
Is my love

And that
Is my reason
Why we
Can never be

I love thee
I say that
Not lightly
You know

But distance
Seperates us
Great distance
Prevents love

Because I can
Never hold thee
When you cry
Or when you're sad

Because I can
Never hold thee
When we laugh
Or when you say

I love you
I say it
Not lightly
You see

I do love thee deeply
Care for thy happiness
For if only one person
Is happy, you it should be

Yet can you be happy
With someone who is
So very far away
I think not

And so I say
That we cannot be
For now at least
But the future is not clear

If someday you find
Me close at hand
Perhaps love can start
Between us two

But until then
I'll stay my course
But I'll never stop
Loving you this way

You must choose
What makes you happy
A love far away
Or a love close at hand

If I had my way
I'd ask you to be mine
But only you can make
This choice of thine

I do love thee
Does he love ye also
As much as it my pain me
You must choose your path

Choose whom you love
Choose to be happy
Let my feelings
Not interfere with thy choice

I love thee
Yet love must be
Putting their happiness first
If they want you not

I've learned this lesson
And so, choose
Whatever it is
I'll accept it

Because my love won't end
I'll just pretend
I'm not in love
With you anymore

But I can never stop
I care too much for thee
Remember this always
That I love you
