My Friend

I want to say I'm sorry for many reasons left unsaid

I want to say I miss you and the life that we once led

I want to be forgiven and forgive myself as well

I want to hold my head up high and no longer sit and dwell

How do you learn to love yourself after you perfected self-hate?

I want to shout ' I miss you so' yet knowing I'm too late

So much time has already passed but one thing still remains

The thought of you brings warmth to me and that will never change

We all have made mistakes in life, Lord knows I've made a few

Please know that doesn't change the fact I'd truly cared for you

The love we shared may have been brief, and now it's just our past

But the impact that you have left on me will forever last

No matter where we go from here, no matter where we've been

What I miss most of all, is not my lover, it's my friend
