I'm sorry I cannot love you as you do,
But I cherish our friendship, that much is true.
I know this may hurt, but I must be sincere,
And hope that our bond won't disappear.

I value your presence, your humor, your wit,
And I'll always cherish the moments we've knit.
I hope we can move past this and remain,
As friends who can trust and love without strain.

So please understand, it's not you, it's me,
And I hope you can forgive and see,
That I still hold you dear, even if it's not in that way,
And I hope our friendship continues to bloom each day.
