For The Short Time We're Us

We met sometime in summer
When the trees were in full bloom
And I asked you for a place in your heart
You said there was no room.
I said that I was lonely
That all my days were dark
I told how you could brighten them
And I saw a little spark
Sometimes I really need you
As a lover and a friend
I told you I had a broken heart
That only you could mend
And I went on, oh so foolishly
Trying to find your love
But the little spark was only that
It was another you were dreaming of
You warned me not to get too close
And not to care too much
But I wouldn't listen and I longed to feel
Your long-anticipated touch
I told you that I was all yours
You told me that was nice
I took the hint--you like me
You don't have to say it twice
You told me that you loved me
But only as a friend
And like it didn't hurt enough
Repeated it again
I told you
You told me
