I'm here not there and it breaks my heart I hear new stories everyday And I wish I was there I left so many friends behind Ones that stayed in touch Others that stopped responding How did we go from talking every day To never speaking again? I would ask you how you're doing. Good. That's all I got. It's all I get. Friends I'm worried about That don't respond And I can't ask others about them. Because I was their confidant. I was the one you could tell anything. I regret the one time I was stupid. The one time I didn't know I didn't know what to say How to handle your words. I still love her. I love everyone. But I said the harsh ones too soon. The understanding ones too late. Instead of being the confidant I was the judger. I wouldn't blame her if she stopped trusting me. Whenever I think of what I said. I regret it a hundred times over. No matter how sorry I was. You can't take back words. Once they are out they are free. I can't just erase them. I'm not a judgmental person. Maybe I once was. A long time ago. And maybe when I'm shocked I revert back to my old self. Maybe that's why I said those things I said Maybe that's why I couldn't look at you Not because I didn't like you Not because I didn't love or trust you Because I didn't know what else to do And when you get scared When you have anxiety like I do You go back to being the old you.

I hate not being there
