Echo Of The Laughter

For so many years, we were the best of friends.
Always by your side, secrets shared in the night.
Stories told over and over, memories remembered.
Inseperable, we stood by each other's side.

For so many years, we talked about anything.
We stood up for each other, best friends.
We did everything as a pair, always.
Sleepovers kept us awake, laughter echoes.

For so many years, you knew nothing about me.
My secrets kept hidden in the depth of myself.
My past, untold for so long, never surfaced.
Because I was afraid of your reaction.

For so many years, I was afraid of knowing.
I was afraid of ruining our friendship.
I was afraid the secrets would force you away.
Kept in the depth of myself, I was afraid.

Still to this day, my secrets unknown by you.
These years of friendship down the drain.
Because of you, our friendship was torn apart.
Because of me, our friendship was destroyed.

Our hands let go, each going our seperate ways.
Our disagreements turned into constant fights.
Walking alone, memories of the laughter.
Walking alone, pretending we never cared.

Turning our backs to the memories, unforgiven.
Nine years, one fight and it's all over.
Years of shared memories, never knowing each other.
I wish I were sorry, but I'm not...
