True Friends?

by Christina Gomes   Apr 30, 2005


We were great friends once
We had our share of laughs and tears
Memories we both made
Times of fighting through our fears

I still think about them
I remember them all
But it didn't do me much good
Cause I just ended up in a long deep fall

I trusted you a lot
Thought I had found a good friend
Someone who would be there
By my side until the very end

But there I was again
Making myself believe the untrue
For now we barely talk
After all we've been through

I just have one question?
Isn't a person allowed more than one friend?
Then why is it that it caused so much
Why did it cause our friendship to end?

Just because I didn't give you all my time
And I thought about other people's stuff
It wasn't OK with you
It just wasn't enough

If you didn't have 100% of my time
Doesn't mean you didn't have me
Because I was still there for you
Even though, that you didn't see

You made it so big
It became a huge deal
That's where it all started
The true you was revealed

You started ignoring me
But I'm just that kind
I don't take anything
So anger just floated to my mind

If you were doing that
It's not a one way street
I did the same back
I made the fight complete

But it's not like I didn't try
I mean I'm the one that called
I made the first step
It wasn't just my fault

I asked you all about it
What had gotten you so mad
It was me being friends with her
That's really all that had

Because now I spent time with her
It wasn't only about you
This I just couldn't understand
And I didn't know what to do

From that point on
I ignored you everyday
It just got me so mad
What you had to say

You'd go to her all the time
Trying to be so buddy buddy
Trying to take her away like that
Taking what was important to me

But she was my FRIEND
And she really did care
She told me what you'd say
And unlike you, she'd be there

You told her you regretted it
But you didn't say sorry
You told her you wanted to be my friend
But there was no apology

But the weird thing is that
You acted like this because of her
You started this because you couldn't accept it
You let go of all that we were

This makes me even angrier now
Because she's one of my best friends
She showed me all those things you lacked
Must've been why it happened to end

So now when you think
What went wrong
Wasn't it a good friendship
It went on so long

Just remember you caused the whole thing
You caused it to end
The reason is you
The reason we're not friends...

But I can't say it's completely bad
Because you made me realize some things
What a friendship should really be like
What your's never did bring

Made me realize the qualities
Of a friend that is true
Things that are important
Things I didn't find in you.
