Once I Had A Friend
Once I had a friendA friend who understood
He understood what I went through
And I thought he always would.
We had our good times as friends
Then we fell in love
I thought he would always love me
But now, those times we no longer think of.
Once I had a friend
A friend I thought would always care
But after a few fights
It all ended in despair.
He said I needed too much attention
He said I whined too much
My temper went over the top
And that was when I lost my touch.
Once I had a friend
Who I thought was my best friend
But after the threat he threw at me
Our friendship was at an end.
He told me to go die
He never wanted to see me again
He told me he would bring a knife
And kill me, but I never knew when.
Once I had a friend
Who told me to beware
So I went ahead and told someone
So that my life would be spared.
The matter got taken care of
He wouldn't bother me no more
But after a while, I knew I had to say sorry
It is something I can no longer ignore.
Once I had a friend
Who was my best friend
But then he moved away
So my longing to say sorry will have no end.
I have to say sorry
I have to tell you all my feelings
But I am scared you will reject it.
That you will reopen the scare that was once healing.
Once I had a friend
Who I thought would be around forever
But then I realized that I was dreaming.
Because I will never see you again. Ever.
