Unlucky Childhood Friends subtrope:
Arm in arm we laughed like kids
At all the silly things we did
You can't finish what you start
If this is love, it breaks my heart!

So I started walking home,
Sowing teardrops in the snow
We'll be friends forever, but
I'm afraid you'll never love me

We'll be friends forever, but
I'm afraid you'll never love me

And then you dropped the bomb
That I've know you too long for us to have a thing.

You don’t have to say anything,
just treat me as your most precious.
But still, you are always like that.
Are you thickheaded? Or is it on purpose?

I know we've been
Friends forever
But now I think I'm feeling something totally new
And after all this time
I've opened up my eyes and now I see
You were always with me
Could it be you and I
Never imagined
Could it be suddenly I'm fallin' for you
Could it be you were right here beside me and I never knew
Could it be that it's true
It's you and it's you
Friends forever
But now I think I'm feeling something totally new
And after all this time
I've opened up my eyes and now I see
You were always with me
Could it be you and I
Never imagined
Could it be suddenly I'm fallin' for you
Could it be you were right here beside me and I never knew
Could it be that it's true
It's you and it's you

You are the one
That I have hoped for
Now my life

Forever just you and me
Be here for you

Now my life
Means so much more
Now we can be
Together forever
Forever just you and me
Be here for you
You here for me

Kyoko: We went to college together, as I understand it. She and I spent a bit of time together after you and Asuka were born, before Asuka and I left for Germany.
Asuka: (laughing) So we'd met before? Me and the idiot, I mean.
Kyoko: I actually remember that, too. I remember staring down at you, thinking you were the cutest thing ever, while Yui did the same with Shinji.
Asuka: How about that, eh? The red string of fate bound us together even then. Kind of depressing, now that I think about it.
Shinji: (laughter)

Meeting you was fate
Becoming your friend was a choice
But falling in love with you
Was beyond my control
Becoming your friend was a choice
But falling in love with you
Was beyond my control
Never knew a time, when you weren't by my side
The one thing I could always count on
Always there for me, you've been my family
Even when all other hope was gone
But for a while things have seemed so different
Like it's the same but still brand new
I can't believe it, when did I start to fall for you?
The one thing I could always count on
Always there for me, you've been my family
Even when all other hope was gone
But for a while things have seemed so different
Like it's the same but still brand new
I can't believe it, when did I start to fall for you?
Do you remember when
I said I'd always be there?
Ever since we were ten, Baby
When we out on the playground
Playing pretend
I didn't know it back then
Now I realize you were the only one
It's never too late to show it
I said I'd always be there?
