Friend of long ago

Silent as the wind blowing at night

He watched her leave out of sight,

Not knowing when they'll see each other again

She's losing her one and only friend


Their paths entwined but not merged

As time passed by their lives did surge

No time to look back, no chance to say goodbye

They didn't notice until time passed them by


After years of separation, here she is again

 In a white gown getting married to his best friend

His hands shook as she walked down the aisle

His face solemn as he swallowed bile


He thought of the days when they were young

But now the sweet bitter memories only stung

Now it was too late for him to know

He had fallen for his friend of long ago

Things you don't know



Faking smiles to hid the pain

Laughing loud, acting insane

Crying at home, out of sight

Dreading the day, abusing the night

Awkward times for you and me

Missing what we used to be

So many things untold

Watching the story unfold

Catching what's not there


Begging him silently to stay

Watching is shadow walk away

Chasing him in the darkness

Being cast off in sadness

Just waiting for another day

Smiling but the sadness stays

Each moment now gone forever

Wishing that we're still together
