Shine
my last night here
and i have a beer
to take away the pain
of you just sitting there
not saying a thing
its ok ill be gone
and youll get back your life
it hurts like hell
since i have gotten to know you so well
your one of the best men
i have ever known
even if you do not believe so
i didnt want this to be
how it would end
i still wanted to be friends
but you just sit there
staring at the tv screen
not even looking at me
makes me wonder
if what we had even meant anything
you make it seem
like you want nothing to do with me
i know im not the best
i know i have my flaws
i know im not really good at all
but you made me feel like i was somebody
even for a little while
you dont know how much that means to me
good conversation, good company, good booze
you made me laugh like no one else had
and im trying not to make you feel bad
the memories keep crowding my mind
all of them with blurred lines
you made me feel like i could shine
thank you
no matter what happens
you made me
become who i used to be
when i was happy
i wish you knew how much it meant
the time we spent
maybe one day youll look back
and remember
and hopefully youll smile
