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
