The Reason Why
Do you remember when we first met?
That day I have yet to forget,
I sat at a table staring ahead
While not a word to me was ever said.
When suddenly you had come by,
Deciding it was worth giving me a try,
We were soon friends before I knew,
I realized there wasn't a thing I wouldn't do for you.
And every year on fall festival day,
By you is where I'd always stay,
With joy so pure-all could see,
That there was nowhere else I would rather be.
And that is how it always went,
With you-Therese-my time I had spent,
Never had I thought this would end,
I had always thought I could face all God would send.
A cross I've carried 3 long years,
Is that if this misunderstanding is not cleared,
I'll have lost a precious treasure,
I will have lost you-Therese-my friend forever.
For me this foreshadowing always looms overhead,
So on careful grounds I'll continue to tread,
And until I can make things right
I will always do my very best to continue the fight.
This is why I do not go,
For I can not let any pain show,
It'll only prove I've not moved on,
Or accepted the fact that my friend is gone.
This is a note to those who try to force me into our fall festival. It tells them why I don't go. I hope that this will one day reach my friend. Actions speak louder than words. This tells her just how true that quote is.
