I just really miss the friend that I once knew...

I don't mind the heartache or the pain,
I don't mind the way life throws things that make us complain.
I don't mind the way that everything has suddenly changed,
I don't even mind the way God had left everything to be rearranged.

But what I do mind is the fact that in the process I'm losing a great friend,
I'm losing that care free and happy go lucky person that never would pretend.
I miss the old you, why can't you just see that?
I miss the friend that could make me smile and with whom I could always chat.

I just somehow wish there was something I could do to bring that person back,
But everything is just so messed up and just so wack.
Every effort just goes down the drain,
Can't help but feel this is all just another one of those things I cannot ascertain.

You're the only one that makes some sense,
The only person that gave me the strength to give life another chance.
And I sit here thinking what to do next,
I just remain in a complete daze - so perplexed.

Where is that friend that I once knew?
The one that gave meaning and showed me something new?
The one that renewed my faith in this terrible place,
That made me feel that I wasn't a big disgrace.

I can only wonder why these tears appear on my face,
When you talk about the pain that has found it's place.
It just hurts to know that there's nothing I can do,
To change the way things are and to make things new.
