My Forever Friend

It feels so strange
To see you now
This flood of memories
It’s hard to allow
Where did you go?
What did you find?
You left me wondering
Wondering why
I’ve been moving on
Please let me move on

I’m a stranger
Even to myself
And yes there’s danger
But that’s the deal we were dealt
I apologize for leaving you
The hardship that this put you through
And will

Will what?

It takes me courage
And I speak nervously
But I do care for and I did this is true (b’’’)
And now you speak
But it makes no sense
Tell me what is hiding
Behind this fence of love

I will

Within the pain
There is good
And what I’ve done
Is all I could
That’s what I found
Life can be hard
And then all so easy
When you let down your guard
And accept

I had a vision
We were life long friends

Often I have thought of you
We were caught in the rain
Till the sky broke through . . . I recall

But ever distant
I couldn’t comprehend

I remember lying on the beach
Soaking in the Sun
With you within my reach . . . in love

I couldn’t help you (b’’’)
Though I wanted to

I can hold secrets
But not from you
My forever friend

I had a child

What?

I had a child

You had a child?

I had a child
You had a child
I had a child
You had a child
I had a child
I had a child
You had a child
We had a child
