This is my "I Agree With You"

I will not write this off tonight

I will not sit alone in spite

I will not try to mend our hearts

For trying to hard will tear us apart



You told me once

Told me a million times

That I needed to stop writing all those lines

Over and Over, I wrote a book

About lovers and dreams and things I had hoped



This did not really go up in smoke

Call me a liar call me a friend

I know like you that it one day would end

I wrote it off day after day

I cried at night to push reality away



Now I am stuck looking up at stars

Wishing and hoping that things would change

Truth is that I don't want what's best for me

I want what is best for WE

Most lovers would be friends for years

We tried to defy it and it turned years to tears



Friendships are built to last

Relationships are built to break like glass

That, though, is one chance we took

That, though, is one more memory for my book



Never made me sad to look back on you

Never made me mad to think of you

Never made me hurt for trying something so hard

Never made me cry at each thought that every kiss could maybe be the last



All-in-all you were right in the end

All-in-all we started living a pretend

We all need space to gather ourselves

I took my time about 3 years ago

Only I forgot what it was like



I will not blame anyone for this time apart

I won't cry again for the lack of a 'I love you'

I can't try to mend what I did not break

I promise to be your friend, be there for what you need for friendship's sake



No longer will I bend

No longer will I break

No longer will a sad ending

Be simple teardrops away



I'm glad to talk to you

And hear about what you do

I am glad to give you space

For that is what friends do



I won't promise not to write again

Or that I won't cry some other night

I know that I cannot stand

Another pointless fight

No more games, no more pretend

I promise this is the end

At least till later down the road after we have both grown

Once a lover turned to an enemy,

Now an enemy to friend.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is how it has to be, and I get it now. I am a lil sleepy, so if this doesn't make sence, don't worry, I'll write something like it again tomorrow. For now though, I agree, I cannot make it through the start of school tryin to figure out how to see someone 400 miles away... but at least for now, I'll live month- by-month and I'll still see you Monday!
