Where have you gone
my dear sweet friend?
for so many years of my life
you were my role model
I wanted to be just like you
until you started drinking
and smoking-
turning your back on God's love
at least that's how I perceived
your actions at 9 years old
when you came back-
I wanted to hate you
but my heart told me no
or was that my head
and my heart was saying
"I hate you, go away"?
you disappeared again
but this time
it was for your own good-
you were getting back on track
college, something you may have thought, was too far out of reach
back when you were 15-
was in your hands
and again you came back-
this time just to visit
everything seems to be going well
for you now...
years have passed since you hurt me
and I talked to your brother and found out just how similar
you and I had become
won't you please come back
and see what I've become?
each day I thank God...
for your influence in my life
come back and kiss the sky
with memories of yester year
