Reconsideration of a Friendship

The more I look, the more I see

The type of person you must be

Not for lack of good inside

Rather that I cannot confide

To my best friend, but I guess when

I gave up my love, I lost you then

To her

Because we blurred the lines everyday

By how we'd act and what we'd say

Hard to believe I gave you away

And now I pay

By the things I cannot say to you

I'm afraid to

Because of the things I'd have to trade

To just have you hear

The things I give ear to

For you

It's a one-way road

And you must know

My soul is so sore

From the distance between me

And where you are

It's far

But I'm starting to see

All the different paths that there could be

For me

So I start to wander

Because I can no longer lie to myself

I know; I've felt

The lack of trust; the guilt

I watch as the glue that made us so close

Begins to melt away

And I pause today

Yet I sigh and I say

Goodbye
