(Written when I was a young teenager)
Come Back Home
The day you walked into my life
we both agreed to be friends.
We talked on the phone some days
and saw movies on the weekends.
You and I hung out together
at first, a little each day,
but as the days went by
you and I were never far away.
Gradually over time
you and I were never apart.
It's as if we were the same person
who shared the same heart.
We had begun to grow so close
and we opened up to one another.
Telling each other secrets
that we didn't tell any other.
You told me about your problems
with your relationships of the past.
I told you about my relationships
and why they never seemed to last.
You connected with me on a level
that I thought no one ever would.
It's as if you knew how I felt.
You so perfectly understood.
I was the smile on your face,
the blood in your veins,
the beat of your heart,
I was the one to soothe your pains.
I will never forget those words
you said to me that day.
You told me you loved me,
and I didn't know what to say.
I loved you as well,
but just as a friend.
I didn't want to jeapordize our friendship.
I was scared that it would end.
You loved me with all your heart,
and I didn't know what to do.
I was just so afraid that over time
I would eventually lose you.
To have you as anything more
was something I could never choose.
You were my dearest and best friend
that I couldn't afford to lose.
How ironic for me to say "lose"
because I lost you anyway.
You're no longer with me.
Instead, you're far, far away.
And now that you're gone,
and I probably won't see you again,
I can't help but to wonder
what possibly could have been.
Because when I now look back
I realize what I once had.
I know the decision I made was wrong
and it has left us both alone and sad.
That was the biggest mistake of my life
and baby, I'm sorry you can't hear me say
I love you too and I promise
we will be a loving couple one day.
