I never claimed to be a saint
nor did I ever try to be
I was just what I was
and you were always ok with that
despite what it did to you
We seem to travel side by side sometimes
and then we decide we’d rather go different places
I did some things I regret
Hate to say
and you acted some ways
I will never forget
Hate to say
but where you are
is fine with me
and even though it may look like I don’t care
I do
To see you really smile
and be happy
and have it have nothing to do with me
is a day I will wait for expectantly
I like to keep close
those important things in my life
but
letting someone
I know
Hurt you
I will not have it
So look before you leap
if not for you
for me
