The Friend I Never Had

I thought we'd be friends forever,

But your words renounced it altogether.

They struck me by surprise,

Like a lightning current through my heart.

I didn’t think it would be this way.

I didn’t know we were at the last page.

What happened along the way?

Is this what I get for not seeing you each day?

Maybe it really is what I think it is,

So allow me to say this,

That the meaning of friendship doesn’t include

Believing lies as truths.

This cruel life just ripped us apart,

And stranded each of us afar.

I can't believe you'd easily give in.

Unless the distance comes from within.

I thought this bond between us would last.

It’s the special thing we have.

And now I'm so confused.

Which word should be used?

Is it still have or is it now just had?

How can you throw it away like that?

Like a piece of rag you never wanted to have.

Have you forgotten everything that’s been?

Or has your memory been killed?

How can in a moment you just assume,

That my love for you is not so true?

It's fine by me if you want this to be the end.

'Cause I can't force you to be my friend.

I want to thank you for letting me feel,

For just a moment, that friendship is real.

So this is the part I say goodbye

But don’t think that I'm going to cry.

'Cause you can't lose something you don’t have.

And you’re the friend I never even had.
