Don'T Speak

Read it all and decide if you want to 'friend' me You know me, and you know what you told me and said You can't take back it all, I'm not that simple me Not one that you can 'friend' again, in that life now dead So think hard again, Pechenya, before you try it again Think what you said, think what you did Think what I said, Think what I did For those can't be taken back, can't be rid You were my first real love, my first mortal sin And I can't be 'friend' with you, perfect wren So think hard now, before you try again I'm not that American Boy, so simple, forgotten Love is in the past, ours cannot be made friendship Do you remember those moments I do, forever, upended? Now you are changed, I don't know, maybe But I am the same, and cannot only your friend be Not when you are this new person I do not know And I am the same man you said 'I love you' to so don't try again, if you are not the same lovely girl That I once knew, whispered 'Te amo' to after we bowled... Now I'm a writer, and this is what I do, daily Because of your urging, take that as your effect, my failing Can't say you're gone forever, a lie that would be I still remember Destin, , GPC, Washington D.C. I don't imagine I'm still with you, I know you're free But so am I, if you'd just let me be, my lover, just.. me.
