What I Couldn't Say
I am sorry
that we were no longer close
broken trust
caused me to push away
for no reason
more than to protect myself
rather than to punish you.
I do remember
a more innocent time
when I did trust complete
my heart was open
the laughter genuine.
Times when you told me
we had all seen worse
the hiring of fools and damn fools
was the way it goes around here
that they don’t stay
and I don’t have to worry.
You had seen it all
been through many rough times
this time no different
a passing bump
in an ever long road.
Remember the time
the bus broke down 4 times
and we weren't all getting along.
Remember the times
we sang and marched
all around the world it seemed
always the same crew.
Remember when
you told me stories
of people I didn't know
until I knew them well.
Now that you are gone
we never had a chance
to get back to where we were
that time of innocence
before the feelings got hurt
and it all got changed around.
There was a love
that was always there
underneath any harm
that could have been done.
I am sorry that I couldn’t tell you once more
that we are friends
always
no matter what
someone you could count on
if you really needed me.
Goodbye my friend
hope you are someplace happy
where there is no pain
and you have love all around.
Maybe I will see you again
in this place
and I can say
hello my friend
once more.
