"The Moose"

I've been staring at your name
Just trying to make sense of all of this.
Please tell me what it'll take.
Please tell me anything.
I just want to know that I still mean something.

And I'm sorry that I've turned this whole thing upside-down.
Wish I could turn it all around,
But I can't.
It's too late for that.

But I think I deserve
At least one goddamn word.
We were friends.
Some might say best.
I guess it wasn't worth fighting for,
When things got weird.
Or awkward.
Or a little more than that.

Again, I'm sorry.
But not for the feelings.
Just the delivery.
It wasn't my best timing

And I agree that we should just be friends.
I just want to be friends.
I just want you back.
Because who the hell else,
Am I going to do "The Moose" with?

We never did end up being friends again. We just kept drifting. But that is his fault, not mine.
