I Thought I Loved You

I thought I loved you
But I was wrong
You were always so sweet
With endless compliments
You made me feel good about myself
And that's what had me fooled
Into thinking that I loved you
But the feeling wasn't real
But I couldn't see it
All I could see was your sweet words
You weren't lying
You really did care for me
And I know you still do
The feeling I had was in my head
But it wasn't in my heart
Yes, I do love you in a certain way
But as a friend, not a lover
I care for you, but not in the way
A lover cares for another
I don't want to hurt you
But I have no choice
I wish there could be another way
But be glad that we can still be friends
And I will always be there for you
Even tho my love is no longer
I remain a true friend
And always will
