I sent you letters
And wrote you poems
I did everything I could
To let you know what,
In my heart, was going on
Why couldn’t you see?
Why did you have to wait
Until the last minute?
You had always been so stubborn
Always afraid to speak your heart
You closed your mind to everything I had to say
And thus you took it all in a bad way
I did nothing wrong,
I was a good friend
But no, you thought it hard to open up
You thought, or maybe I should say acted
Like my love was just a fling
Did you ever wonder why?
Why I stayed around so long
Why I always seemed to be
There to annoy?
I wanted to give up
Believe me I tried
But I never felt justified
So, I allowed myself to be
Your toy,
Your boy,
Just someone you could call on
For anything at all
I just wanted to be in some way
The one to bring you joy
I want to forgive you
It’s the right thing to do
But I can’t help but think
Isn’t it too late?
Too late to be pulling through
Now let me see, you’ll be far away
We were neighbours everyday
Lately we hardly talked
Now it’ll hurt everytime you call
I really don’t want to seem
Like I’m getting at you
And to sound like I don’t care
But it hurt so bad when you were near
Can you imagine how I feel
Now that your off in the air?
Ok, look, I’m sorry about everything I just said
This is the meat of the matter of this poem:
I do love you
So I won’t be able
To stay angry for too long
But when I get over all that
I’ll come to grips
And realise that you’re…
Gone.
