“We are not lovers
because of the love
we make
but the love
we have
We are not friends
becauseof the laughs
we spend
but the tears
we save
I don't want to be near you
for the thoughts we share
but the words we never have
to speak
I will never miss you
because of what we do
but what we are
together”
