A friend I wish would come back again

I wish I might,

I wish I could,

I wish I knew how you do feel.

 

Sometimes I just don't understand,

I'm searching for answers like they're in the sand.

Why do you push yourself so hard,

When deep down in there,

You're just feeling blue?

 

Behind that beautiful smile of yours,

I see a broken heart.

A sad, solemn thought,

That you have somehow changed.

 

It's never your fault,

It's never your choice.

I don't know,

I really don't,

Know what you think anymore.

 

I'm sorry I burdened you,

I'm sorry I didn't know.

I threw you all my problems,

When you alone were down.

 

But still you came,

And still you forced that little smile of yours.

You told me to be joyful,

That I must be grateful,

For the things that come in life.

 

So same goes to you,

My dearest friend.

Be glad yourself for your own life.

 

This present from heaven

Comes and holds

So many wonderful things

And wacky ideas

That surprise you when you least expect.

 

I know that you can never be

The friend that I once knew.

I know that nothing stays

But change

And change just never stops.

 

Now I hope

That you can cope

And here I am for you.

I'll tide with you in the choppy seas,

We'll chase the storms away.

 

I know that you can never be

The friend that I once knew.

But now I'm learning to accept,

The friend I wish would come back again.
