I still think of you,
But only as of the friend you made me.
I'm so fine with it because I'm still near you.
Is that too creepy, too clingy?
I think it sounds weird, but who cares?

I'm too tired for caring, clearly.
But I don't mind this time.
I don't care about what I wear,
I don't care what I say,
I don't care about you anything more than I should.

Finally. It's been too long to finally feel this release.
I love it.
I feel free, flying high above the sky.
I can see the top of the theater and of the head of our friends.
I feel full and happy.

I still listen to love songs,
And of course, I think of you.
That's normal, right?
Because I still love you.
I just know how to deal with it now.

I know how to deal with you now.
That sounds awful, but imagine:

You are so in love, so very happy and in love.
But they break your heart.
And you're stuck.
Stuck like you're swimming in a caramel pool.

Then you feel happy, even content.
It still hurts, but you don't want to kill yourself.
It's still bittersweet, but then you add more sugar.
That's how it feels to still be in love with your friend.

I don't mind it.
I swear I don't. 
I'm happy you even still want to be near me.
Because friendship is something that you can keep forever,
But love is gone in the blink of an eye.

And I don't want you gone in a blink of an eye.
