JUST FRIENDS

He was just another cute boy, and she just another girl beautiful
They met for the first time in school
While he was her best friend, he thought the same
People thought there's more to the story and they called people lame
WE ARE JUST FRIENDS they would say
And our friendship is here to stay
Years pass and the guy turned into a handsome young man
And the girl into a pretty woman of elan
The bond they shared only grew strong
Nothing ever could possibly go wrong
"Is she your girl dude?" his friends would ask and he would laugh
So would the girl when people suggested he could be her perfect better half
WE ARE JUST FRIENDS they would say
We were earlier and even today
She meant the world to him and she knew it well
He did all that to let her know she was more than special
Over long rides in the rain
Over crying on her shoulders in pain
Over his numerous attempts to make her smile
Over the spark between them despite their denial
He had secretly fell for the dame
And deep down she felt the same
WE ARE JUST FRIENDS! he would now lie
for he didn't know what was in her mind
Over the midnight phone calls and over million cups of coffee
Over his kisses on her forehead, she could see
That she had fallen for her friend
WE ARE JUST FRIENDS! she would lie
For she didn't know the story at the other end
One fine day he decided to let her know
That he couldn't ever let her go
He held her hand and bent down on his knee
"Girl! You are my world. Will you marry me?"
She smiled as tears rolled down her eye
And she nodded a yes in joy
He hugged her tight and kissed her forehead
He looked into her eyes and said
"Iam glad you are not JUST A FRIEND!"
Several years down the line on an evening cold
She rests her head on his chest and walks down the road
He kisses her wrinkled forehead lying beneath her hair grey
When they hear their son smile at them and say
"How does it feel to be in love and growing old together?"
The now Old man says "Oh! WE ARE JUST FRIENDS" and winks at her ;)
