Remember when we met and we clicked right away
Remember how we were inseparable every single day?
And do you remember what we've been through all those great years
Together we experienced life and laughter and shared each others tears
I remember the first time I visited your home
I remember how, at your house, I never felt alone
And I remember how your family was so very kind to me
Through my eyes I saw them as my very own family
I could never understand, why you were always so sad
What about your life was really all that bad?
I admit I was jealous, for you had what I desired…A family, a safe environment
You had the love, and the holidays with your family, you spent
My house was always cold, and always filled with hate
I couldn’t go home without fearing I could be my Dad's next bait
Because I came home to a beating every single night,
Whether it was my moms, my brother's or mine
No matter who it was, there was always a fight.
School wasn't fun either, I was harassed by everyone
No place was safe, school or home, neither one was any fun
I could only go to you, to get relief and guidance
But you stopped listening; you shut me up with your own stupid rants
I listened to you anyway, and tried to help you out
But you didn’t listen to that either, you continued to pout
Through all my grief and pain, I still tried to get you to see
That there was more to life than crap and misery
When you started making bad decisions everyone tried to warn you
But you got angry with only me and said to let you do what you wanted to do
So I tried to back down for a while, but I couldn't stand to see you get hurt by a dunce
You asked me why couldn't I just let you be happy for once
You shut me out of your life completely like I was never even there
I just wanted to see you happy, but you didn't really care
Remember all the bad times, and how we made up in the ends
Remember when we thought we'd always be friends
I guess you don't since now I'm just a fade in your fragile memory
Well, I remember it all and I miss what we used to be.
no words. perfect.
