I'M SORRY

I AM SITTING ALONE COLLECTING MY THOUGHTS,
WONDERING HOW WE WENT WRONG,
WE WERE FRIENDS OF THE VERY BEST KIND,
AND NOW IT SEEMS YOU ARE GONE...

WE LAUGHED AND LOVED AND TALKED SO MUCH,
THERE WAS NOTHING WE COULDN'T SHARE,
WE CALLED EACH OTHER FRIEND AND THEN,
IT SEEMS YOU ARE NO LONGER THERE...

WE HAD A MIS-UNDERSTANDING,
IT SEEMS SO PETTY NOW,
I WAS WRAPPED UP IN MY PROBLEMS,
AND I LOST A GOOD FRIEND SOMEHOW...

WAS IT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T TALK,
OR MAYBE I SAID SOMETHING WRONG,
ALL I KNOW IS I MISS YOU SO,
OUR FRIENDSHIP WAS SO STRONG...

WHAT EVER HAPPENED, I DO NOT KNOW,
BUT I MISS YOU VERY MUCH,
CAN'T WE PUT IT ALL BEHIND US,
AND CONTINUE TO STAY IN TOUCH...

I MISS YOUR LAUGH AND PLAYFUL WAYS,
AND HOW WE JOKED AROUND,
YOUR ADVICE IS SOMETHING I HOLD DEAR,
YOUR LOVE WAS WITHOUT BOUNDS...

TO LOSE YOUR FRIENSHIP I SO REGRET,
ALTHOUGH TAKEN LIGHTLY BY SOME,
THE LONELINESS THAT I SOMETIMES FEEL,
IS DIFFICULT TO OVERCOME...

I HAVE MY PROBLEMS AND SO DO YOU,
BUT ISNT THAT WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR,
I HAVE A SHOULDER TO CRY ON,
AND I NEED YOURS EVEN MORE...

I LOVE YOU FRIEND AND PLEASE BELIEVE,
I KNOW I ALWAYS WILL,
SO IM SORRY FOR WHAT I MIGHT HAVE DONE,
AND YOUR FRIEND, I AM STILL...

WITHOUT YOU FRIEND I AM BUT A SHELL,
AND MY SPIRIT IS INCOMPLETE,
I NEED YOU AND I'M HERE FOR YOU,
I CAN NOT ACCEPT DEFEAT...

IT IS BETTER TO FORGIVE THEN TO GO THROUGH LIFE WITH AN EMPTINESS BEYOND MEASURE. WE ALL NEED A FRIEND, SO WHATEVER IT IS THAT STANDS IN THE WAY OF A GOOD RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THOSE WHO NEED AND CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER, CAN BE WORKED OUT IF ONLY WE GIVE IT A TRY. DON'T BE AFRAID TO SAY IM SORRY, NO MATTER WHAT IS WRONG. LOVE, TRUST, RESPECT AND UNDERSTANDING IS THE CORE OF ANY RELATIONSHIP. WHETHER IT IS A LOVER, BROTHER, SISTER OR BEST FRIEND, NOTHING IS SO BAD THAT IT CAN'T BE WORKED OUT. IF WE ALL TRY TO COMMUNICATE AND SHARE OUR FEELINGS WITH EACH OTHER.
A FREINDSHIP IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE.
