here we are...

well, here we are.
simple proof that life is definitely not fair.
one more heart broken,
one more dream shattered,
and one more life left behind.
i guess we should have known...

now there's nothing left to do
but sit and wonder where it all went wrong.
i know it did,
i just can't remember when.
actually i can hardly even remember why,
but that doesn't matter now...

when did the thing we wanted so badly to have
become the thing i almost wish i'd never had?
when did you walk away
and leave me so confused?
i'll never really understand.
maybe it's better that way...

you were once my solid hope;
a hug in place of all my tears
and gentle arms to help me make it through.
you used to be my strength.
i can remember how that felt-
having someone there to trust and run to...

you used to say you'd never leave.
i guess i'm the one to blame
for expecting you to always be there
just like you used to be.
well i've learned my lesson-
don't believe everything you hear...

so now what do i have to show
for the part of me i gave to you?
experienced judgement, memories,
and a story to tell are fine, i guess;
but there's also the pain and hurt,
and my fear of future love...

when you left it really wasn't
the outlet and hugs that i missed;
at least not as much
as i missed feeling loved- like i mattered
and like i'd always have someone to talk to;
someone to somehow take it all away...

now i just miss my friend.
i miss the closeness and the trust,
the laughter and the good times.
when did that slip through my fingers?
when did we grow so far apart?
so here we are...
