I'm Sorry

Dear Friends, I know you think I'm gone But really I'm still here, You just can't see me next to you, Or see me cry a tear. It may seem like I have left, And left you here alone, Neglected our fun times, And conversations on the phone. I'm so sorry that I had to leave, I just felt that I didn't have a place, In this game that they call 'Life', I just couldn't keep up the pace. You probably didn't see it coming, When I said I hated life, You probably thought I didn't mean it, But I did, I wouldn't lie. The pain really hurt at first, But then I became numb, Then my body began to tremble, As the fear came over me. As my breath became shorter, I remembered the good times, Our sleepovers, conversations, Even our silly rhymes. Then it started to get all blurry, And my hands began to shake, I then passed out into a deep sleep, One where I could hope to never wake. You guys are my best friends, And you still are, I may seem to be a long way away now, But really, I’m not that far. I’m in a place inside you, Somewhere called your heart, So we’ll always be together, And we will never part. So don't forget me when I'm gone, Because I never forgot you, You were there when I was in need, I'm sorry I can't be there, too. Written March 26th, 2002 © on Mar 26 2002 12:29 PM PST   0 • 1
