I am your lover and your best friend
I wonder, sometimes, how I go on, yet I do
I hear your anguish in my soul
I see your tears reflected in my own
I want to kiss your heart and soul better
I am your lover and your best friend

I pretend that everything's "fine"
I feel my heart bleed as you try to push me away
I touch your love and feel it heal
I worry that my love is not enough
I cry for your pain
I am your lover and your best friend

I understand your pain, mine is its brother
I say get your arse on a plane NOW
I dream of the day you arrive
I try to be strong for you
I hope that you stop pushing and start pulling again, soon
I am your lover and your best friend.

I was asked to try and write a new version of this a couple of weeks ago. Well, Izzy darling, here it is.

I believe in fairy tales but then I'm just a silly romantic, what do I know?
