if you never come back

by Bek Williams

i didn't mean to freak you out
i told you i was sorry
you were sipping on the cure
telling me a story

you told me things never get better
but with time they might get easier

i didn't mean to freak you out
sittin on my brick wall
we waited there for hours on hours
decided it was the right call

for a minute i forget the things
that i should be doing with you

i didn't mean to cause you pain
and i know now i was wrong
it was only for a petty gain
a selfish swan song

i'm sorry for the silly words
all the things that i didn't do right

i never meant to make you sad
i did what i thought best
i can never explain everything
well i could try, but i'm a mess

i didn't think about the other things
too afraid of what i'd lose

but if you never come back from pakistan
i'll never forgive you
yeah, if you never come back from pakistan
i can never forgive you

Author's Note: multiple stories woven up in this...it's near and dear to my heart right now, though i'm not exactly sure how i feel about it

I think sometimes our best work is full of multiple stories since so many of them go into making us who we are. I like it--it's honest, it's real, and you don't cut corners with your emotions.
