Long Ago, Prince Charming

My love for him used to be all too clear

And I didn't know what to do

Because I knew it was all so pointless,

Since he'd never love me too.

Months went by and I made a friend

Who was there for me through it all.

He became my personal sun,

There at my every call.

When I felt all alone,

He hugged me and said, "It's OK."

When my love left my life,

He kept the tears at bay.

Then one day, he told me "I love you,"

But before I could reply,

That old love came back and said the same,

So I kissed my Prince Charming goodbye.

But it was a lie, and I returned to my friend,

Who loved me through it all.

He was still my personal sun,

There at my every call.

All too late, I realized

I was in love with him as well.

But I knew I'd hurt him far too much,

And I'd built my own personal hell.

So he's still here, and I know he's my friend,

But each time I see him, my smile's disarming,

And I don't know how to say "I love you"

To my long ago Prince Charming.
