Then & Now

by Lyndsay   Apr 2, 2005


We've had bad experiences
But we've put them behind us
Or so it seems
I've had my chance to prove that I've changed
That in these past few years I have seen sense
I look back with regret
But the past is now hidden
To be forgiven so it seems
Yet not forgotten
Will it ever be forgotten?
For this I live in hope
And although you say it is all over
I still live in regret of what I have done
Embarrassed of my actions that one year
It did not occur to me at the time
What it must have been like for you
It got out of hand
This I am sure about
And you were right to be annoyed
My young minded self put you through no end of torture
As you did your best to turn me away
Please, don't think anything less of me
For writing what I feel
Because here today you seem OK with me
We have a laugh and a chat
Yet even this is still awkward
And you still have that inkling
That I feel the same way as before
Yet it is not true
For now I respect you
I look up to you
As someone older
Someone wiser
And a dear brother
Of a dear friend
