I'll always remember the day we met,
You were broken,
I was spent,
We help each other, I stitched you up,
We stayed together, and talked so much.
I still can't remember when it all went down,
When your love turned into hate,
Your smile to a frown,
I can't help but think it was all because of me,
Cuz now your okay,
Your away from me.
I can still see your smile,
But it's not for me,
You whisper your secrets, but not to me,
I stand alone, stuck in a daze,
WHAT IS HAPPENING?!
WHY TO ME?!
That's what I thought at the time,
But she was a better match for you,
I can tell, you were my friend too,
You two have so much in common,
Not like us, we were like a dove and a robin,
I sat and watched you fly away,
Agreed we needed space,
I couldn't do it, I couldn't cause you pain,
I let you go,
Forever...maybe,
I took it all on myself,
Those sleepless nice were like a living hell,
Still I can see your smile,
Even if only for a while,
I let you go; now you are free,
You never knew you were dear to me.
Later then came the fights,
The lashing words,
The endless cries,
Who knew a robin could pack such a punch,
You wore me down,
Took away too much,
I can't believe I lost the fight,
Let myself slip away into endless night,
But i'm a dove,
Even if I'm broken,
I shine like a star,
No words need spoken,
Still through it all I don't hate you,
I can still smile, and say thank you,
But for now just don't forget,
Who was there with you through all of it?
No don't start now,
Don't try to explain,
I don't need you excuses,
There was too much pain,
I hope one day you'll understand,
How I felt, and who I am,
I won't lie to you,
Or tell you off,
I'm much too scared to get it wrong,
So for now I sit, and smile, and laugh
I taught you your lesson,
You showed me your back,
Though I don't care,
It was all time wasted,
You won't do this again,
Your still explaining,
I don't know why,
This kind of thing isn't worth my time,
Now there you go don't start to cry,
The memories are there,
The smiles wide,
So don't try and ruin this good-bye,
Don't turn away, run or hide,
This is the truth,
I'm saying good-bye
I miss you now, and I'll miss you then,
But I will not put myself through that again,
So smile for me no matter what,
You are my best friend,
You always were,
It seems so pointless to try and fight
This friendship just wasn't right,
Even if we wanted it,
Sooner or later it would end,
You ask me why I smile while saying good-bye
I'll let you know it's not because I lied,
I loved you then,
And I love you now,
You were the closest friend forever, even now,
But things go wrong, people change,
I know I'm holding you back,
So fly free,
Now there you go again with the tears,
Crying for me, for us, these years,
You ask me again why I smile saying good-bye,
Im not happy to see you go,
Those nights weren't a lie,
I'll mss you so,
You're the closest person to my heart even now,
Tears streaming down your face you seem confused,
You don't know why I'm doing this to you,
You tell me it isn't funny, and not to smile,
I say i know, but it's been a while,
My smile was always hidden,
But now it flows free,
Can't you see this friendship has changed me?
It made me see how things should be,
You shouldn't have to worry about me.
So good-bye I say,
One last time you ask why i'm smiling,
I'll tell you why,
It's because that's what I want you to remember me by.
Never forget my smile,
Or that i loved you,
Don't forget that we were best friends,
Or that we always will be
Don't forget all the late nights we stayed up talking.
Or the secrets we shared,
Don't forget that time i got busted and you tried to cover for me,
or that i wouldn't let you,
But most important,
Dont forget that i will never forget what a great friendship we had,
I smile one last time and repeat.
This is what i want you to remember me my,
I smile for one last second before turning around,
I walk away and the tears come down,
I'll never forget.
