Friend of Mine
Raffi Quijano Lyrics

I've known you for so long
I have been acquainted with you for a very long time

You are a friend of mine
I consider you one of my close companions

But is this all we'd ever be?
However, I wonder if we are not destined to be anything more than platonic friends

I've loved you ever since
I have had romantic feelings towards you since we first met

You are a friend of mine
But still, you remain a dear friend

But babe, is this all we ever could be?
Nonetheless, I ponder if a romantic relationship between us is feasible

You tell me things I've never known
You divulge information to me that I did not know beforehand

I've shown you love you've never shown
I have exhibited affection to you that you have never returned

But then again, when you cry
Despite this, I am always there to console you when you are upset and shedding tears

I'm always at your side
I support you unwaveringly

You tell me 'bout the love you've had
You speak of your past romantic endeavors and relations

I listen very eagerly
I attentively listen to what you have to say

But deep inside you'll never see
However, you are unaware of the profound feelings I have for you

This feeling of emptiness
This sentiment of lacking something vital in my life

It makes me feel sad
Causes me to experience sorrow

But then again I'm glad
Yet simultaneously, I am content

I've known you all my life
You have been a part of my existence since I was born

Now, I know friends are all we ever could be
Now, I have come to terms with the fact that a close, non-romantic friendship is all we will ever share.
