The Me You Knew
Passed you in the hall today
It was good seeing you smile
Why don't you ever stop?
So we can chat for awhile.
Always been there for me
Each time I needed to vent
Lately it feels like I'm trapped
On a seperate continent.
What happened to how we were?
Secrets we used to share?
Silence settled in somehow
Now it's coursing through the air.
Left wondering what went wrong
Did I change too much for your mind to take?
Bet you're tired of helping me
Bounce back from every mistake.
Guess I was choosing roads
Guiding away from your direction
I was misled along the path
I lost all your affection.
Two different people now
Feel your disappointed gaze
Watch me walk away from you
I recede into the maze
You are immersed in happiness
Unaware of our lives drifting apart
I am wishing that things could be
Like they were at the start.
I long to feel close again
If only we could go back
Even with a time machine
Would I be able to get my life on track?
I am not the same person
I was the day I met you
But if you would look a little harder
There is still a glimpse of the me you knew.
This was written a long time ago about drifting apart from a close friend
