Time has been wasted, I feel ashamed
I kept you close and it was me I blamed
Blamed myself for not giving more
Blamed myself for being unavailable and more
Our distance grew over many years
I should have left sooner and shed some tears
How ironic it is that I was so self absorbed
It was your distance and lack of interest I should have observed
It makes sense now the inability to repair
You had a long term plan that you were unable to share
Pretending day by day to be on my side
But preparing for another, that you continue to hide
Simply sad is all I can say
Cloaking us as friends was part of your play
Good luck with your life I wish you the best
It’s time to stop deceiving give it a rest
She’s so sweet the people say
So sweet so sweet, go away
