i didn't go this monday
please let me explain
you knew me
but you didn't know me
you were just kind.
you were so kind.
and a lot of people weren't
and now

well

i didn't see you off
but i wanted to
the black dresses choke my heart
and remind me of when we'll all be surrounded by them
in our best clothes

i didn't tuck you in
i couldn't bare the faces
of people who knew you
looking at me
and knowing
that i shouldn't have been there
yet again

but you were kind
so so kind

i do not miss you
not like a friend who has left
but i owe you
i should have done and thanked you
but i didn't
so i'm sorry
i'm so sorry
