Speak From Your Heart
You thought no one would listen
That your words were meaningless
But I listened
Though it did not seem so
I knew the pain you went through
The right in your heart
The denial flashed though your eyes
I saw the hurt floating around you
But I just kept walking
While you drifted closer to the truth
The right thing to do
I drifted away
I didn’t stand behind you
Though I knew you were right
I didn’t realize it but I was pushing you away
Everything that mattered to you
I didn’t listen to
I just pushed it away
It seemed as though I didn’t listen
It seemed like you didn’t know
It seemed like I pushed you away because you didn’t matter
I never realized how important you were
But it seemed like you didn’t know
But I was wrong you were right
It is amazing how in one day
You can lose all your friends
But today you didn’t lose us
We lost you
You have been my friend
For so long
I am stupid for losing you
Be lucky that you were put here
So that no matter how bad things got
You were happy
So that mo matter how wrong we were
You were there telling us not to
I didn’t realize how lucky I was
Until you left
I didn’t know how bad I would hurt
Until you left
Friendship is a single thread
But while you hang in the balance
Something small can snap the thread
And it let me fall
It’s not that I didn’t listen
I just didn’t follow what you said
You were right
I was wrong
I didn’t know how
Something so small to me
Could be so huge to you
How one thing I said
One thing I did
Could break the breakable string
How could one small line of thread
Hold us both up
Together we were
Until I let the thread break
And I lost you
