My Long Lost Friend
There was a time not long ago!
You were my friend and not my foe.
But somehow things got turned around.
Now it’s hatred that will be found.
We knew each other since we were small.
Forever friends we swore to all.
We stuck by that for many years.
Now all that’s left is memories and tears.
What was it that caused this terrible thing?
The words spoken now have such an awful sting.
Once you said you’d watch my back.
And now I dare not turn it to you, because of hate and trust I lack.
You swore to be my friend until the bitter end.
Well here’s the end, now where’s the friend?
I do not know the reason why.
We let our friendship just up and die.
If it’s an apology you’re looking for.
I’ll be the man to open that door.
Forgive me friend if I’ve done wrong.
For I want you back where you belong.
