You arrived and said you had something to ask me
Not loving you I wondered what it could be
as you stuttered and stumbled through your words
your eyes clouded over and I knew you couldn't see

I was pregnant and it wasn't your child
you see we'd only been friends a short while
but you wanted to give both me and my child
the security if you and I walked up the aisle

Your loving words weren't answered by my heart
though I thanked you for your gift
I had to be honest knowing I'd lose you as my friend
and with the door closing so came the rift

but 25 years on I remember the day so well
what you offered to me and my extra beating heart
my friend - the smiles I now wish I could tell
wanting the best for me - we lived our lives apart

True story, we were young and he was my friend and in the army but would have given me the world..how would life be if I had accepted his offer?
