title : after all this time
Why are you still here?
Sill tormenting my mind
Our seemingly perfect friendship
Ending with heartache and wasted time

Why do I still need you?
Without you, I just can't bear
Even after all this time..
I find, I still need you there

Why do you still haunt my dreams?
When I sleep I hold you close to me
But in reality you're so far away
The endless train won't let me be

Why do my tears still fall for you?
I promised myself I was done
The memories come back to haunt me
They're full of laughter, happiness and fun

Why does my heart still ache for you?
The way you smell and the sound of your voice
Engraved perfectly in my mind
Although I love it, it's not my choice

Why did you have to leave me?
You promised me til the end
All those promises became lies
You left me with a broken heart to mend

Why do you not notice?
The hurt, the suffering, the pain
The cut is deep, my heart won't heal
Because of you I'm not the same

The best friend I could ever have
Given a piece of my heart I'll never get back
Secrets told, and the memories never erase
A missing friend I will always lack
