Bridges

For those of you who miss your close friends - in the past

Yes, yes.. it may have been a long time, since I've talked to you all.
My bad if I broke my promise about giving you a call.
How long has it been? It seems so distant and you're so far.
Our relationship as buddies and friends seems as unimportant just like tar.
Let me smile and approach you. Coveted with no lies.
Not a chance to even say, so why those dirty eyes?
Seems almost just like yesterday we were laughing with our friends.
Now it seems like everyday I'm trying to make amends.
No, I'm not saying I'm sorry, because I have my reasons to run.
One day I will come back and fix it, and make all those things undone.
We make the path we walk in life, for there are no trails to choose.
Keep the bond that we all once had or turn our backs and lose.
I once heard someone say that, "friends, they come and go."
Once they decide to up and leave, their inner "them" will show.
At first I didn't believe it. I put myself in straight denial.
Think of those people I replaced, on the spot I put on speed-dial.
So was it me who lit the flame and left those bridges burnt?
Give it another second thought, and this is what I've learned.
It's only your undoing to disconnecting that connection.
Other times they hold the knife, because of your reflection.
At times you may make those mistakes and not even see.
Of course it could also be theirs but that still gives no relief.
So yes, I've burnt some bridges, and I've experienced the loss.
But now I think- not only that, but some bridges are just too old to cross...
