There was a boy whom I knew
Inside and out
Backwards, sideways, and upside down
I think I knew him almost better than I
Knew my own self.
We grew together for some time
He was by my side through
The darkest of days
Always there to ease the pain
And he was
also there
On the most soothing nights
When life was full of bliss
And we'd sit on my roof star gazing
Talking about what we wanted out
Of this thing called life.
This boy gave me everything,
Treated me beyond wonderful,
But the boy reminded me too much
Of myself,
So I had to let him go.
We were so similar,
Yet so very different,
And the time to say goodbye
Was now manditory.
So we went our seperate paths
And
Things were left unsaid
And bitterness and
Hatred grew within.
I never meant to hurt the boy,
It was never my intention
To cause pain to the fragile heart
Of a boy who
saved me once upon a time.
I don't think I like to admit it,
But I cared about that boy,
That's why
I had to let him go.
