I am sorry my friend
that I lost track of you back when.
Forgive me for not being there
when you needed me the most to care.
I know of your pain while we were apart
I feel it stab like a knife in my heart.
My tears fall to a pool on the ground
when you needed me the most I was not around.
I said I would be with you forever
always there I would leave you never.
These were not mere words that I said
or some statement that I read.
What I told you came from my heart
I thought that we would never be apart
But now as I look back
I see we each took a different track.
You were still always on my mind
for I knew that you were one of a kind.
I prayed to God for you he would care
because I knew I could not be there.
Now I know he did watch over you
he was there always to see you through.
But still I feel I must face some blame
inside of me I still have some shame.
For my absence I can never maake amends
but I will try my friend until my life ends.
