Changes

We had the perfect friendship
I could tell him anything
And in his heart, it was kept
For me he even said he was praying

All that meant so much to me
No one could ever know
The perfect friends were we
But then, he had to go

At first, I was really upset
what would it be like without him
For his leaving, the time was set
The next couple of days would only be dim

Then, I’d email him like everyday
And he would always respond immediately
For Dave … I would always pray
For school, his new life ... and family

And then, the emails stopped coming
And I stopped sending

I always had that wish and hope
That maybe, for once …
He would email me first ... but no
I guess He didn’t consider my wants

I grew weary and upset
Towards him that is
Our friendship hadn’t been kept
And him, I really miss

He doesn’t know this is how I feel
I never had enough strength to tell
It would make him upset ... I know it will
And I don’t want to hurt him ... its just an email

I know that he doesn’t mean anything
But I guess what they say is true
When your friend that was so close to you is moving
At first, its just a little different, but then it turns blue

Theres this pain that’s inside of me
And it doesn’t seem to go away
This pain … no one can see
I keep it hidden at night and every day

I wish he knew how I feel
Without me telling him
I wish he had takin the hint
When I stopped emailing him

I wanted him to email me so I wouldn’t feel like a fool
I wasn’t asking for a phone call
Although that woulda been quite cool
I guess now the distance has become an unbreakable wall
