Do You Know?

Do you know how much I care My world is empty without your there Time has passed, yet I ache, now I know, I made a mistake A whole new world led me astray Bonds of friendship were thrown away I thought that I was so grown What it cost, I couldn't have known From a life as an innocent child, I rode the fast lane, free and wild Souless people, traveling in one direction, became the object of my affection Hurt, betrayed, and tossed aside, I lost myself, purpose, and pride Comfort I sought from friendship gone cold, lost, no arms were waiting to hold Learning a lesson, sometimes takes long What ever hurts, makes you strong Starting over, is never too late Letting go of old hurt and hate On, myself I can always depend, memories of our friendship won't end
