I couldn't be there with you

When the times were hard for you

I wanted to stay by you

I knew I hurt you

I couldn't save you

I wanted to save you, but I couldn't

You gave me friendship when there wasn't

You gave me happiness for a little while

I let you down

Beyond words, I was the worst best friend

The years went by while you were hurt

You thought you had lost your best friend

I let everything crash

Letters and texts couldn't fill the void

I let our friendship fade.

I never forgot you

I love you too much it hurts

I can never forgive myself

Here I am finally

I'm sorry I couldn't muster my strength to say hello

Seeing you lying here bleeding is too late

I wish I told you sooner
