Pass By

When I was hurt,
You didn’t come running,

When I was crying,
You didn’t wipe my tears,

I thought I could depend on you,
To do these things which show you care,

I think of taking my own life,
Only because you were not there,

I continue to cry,
And I continue to hurt,

Watching the day go by,
The rain fall and the sun shine,

Waiting for you,
Just to pass by,

And make me smile,
Just one last time.
