to friend(s)- i miss you

Can it really only be so short a time ago?
I can't forget you when I'm here
where all the memories are shadows
of what was, and what could have been
and yet we left behind
and all the pieces I can't piece together
in this frame of mind.

Ghosts of who we used to be,
we barely pass a glance
Glazing over yesterdays
'cause we couldn't make it last
Do you remember loving freely,
without all this in the way,
or have you buried me so deep
because you just don't feel the same

I miss you, though I'd never tell you
because I know just how you are
I know you'd take it to your ego
instead of taking it to heart.
It's just too easy to recall
when I'm where I knew you first,
I guess I never thought this friendship
couldn't get us through our worst

I miss you, and I'd tell you
but instead I'll hold it in
because I can't risk losing you
all over again


(.....Yeah, so what... I miss you. I miss you because we were friends, and good ones, and now we're not. And most of all, I miss you because we aren't friends anymore for the stupidest reason, because we both put our trust in our pride instead of in each other. Can we go back? Maybe not. Can it change now? I wish. Pretending we don't know each other is getting old. Do you remember too or would you rather forget? Well, I remember. So there it is, I miss you. I just wish that somehow, some way, that could be enough.)
