Did you ever love someone you know doesn't love you?
Did you ever feel like crying but what good would it do?
Did you ever close your eyes and say a little prayer?
Did you ever feel his heart and wish that you were their?
Did you ever watch him thinking when the lights were down low?
Did you ever say I love but but never let him know?
Remember how he left you standing their with teardrops in your eyes
And how you let him walk away before you said goodbye
You see my friend you've lost him theirs nothing you can do now he's gone what went wrong he's played you for a fool
So never fall in love my friend you'll find it doesn't pay
Although it causes broken hearts it happens everyday
You see my friend love is fine and you'll see the price is high
But if I had to choose between love and death I think I'd rather die
So never fall in love my friend you'll just get hurt before it's through
I know this friend because I was the one who fell in love with you
Can confirm part of what Charlie wrote, because I know this from my childhood, which means it's at least 45 years old. You should revise this post to make it clear that you didn't write it.
Never fall in love my friend was a poem written in 1966 by a young girl at Chico State College. Chico, California. We never knew her name but the poem circulated around campus very fast. Several lines have been plagiarized here by the person claiming to have created it.. Please remove your name from this work called 'Never Fall In Love My Friend'. Or remove the plagiarized lines.
Did you ever feel his heart and wish that you were their? Did you ever say I love but but never let him know? I appreciate these lines.Keep it up.
