Friend from long ago, lady of the forest
Someone who I once talked to as one seeking
Now you are here with me, equal.

Something has changed, innocence we have lost
Upon our paths we walk them both and thinking
There you are friend - and equal.

Our relationship has change, I know of that,
It is something that I've seen and been watching
You say hate, I simply say...love.

You are my friend, and I love you
Why do you think otherwise?
