Advice for a Dear Friend
I sit here wondering how you are doing today
Oh how there’s many things I want to say
We haven’t had a deep conversation in a while
And oh how I miss that smile
I haven’t seen it since that night
When you almost collided and saw that light
But I wonder if you really saw it?
I know how much it kills you to admit
That light being the truth
To which the problems you have you seem to refute
What will it take for you to see?
What hurts me and what you will soon be
So maybe you’re not ready
But believe me when I say you’re unsteady
Oh how I wish that you would understand
You’re drowning in a pool of quicksand
We just tried to help you
But yet I know you were askew
Since that night it’s not been the same
But babe, I mean no shame
I acted the way I did because I care
I mean, at this point I feel you’re living on a prayer
We may not have been "official"
But the way I felt about you was not artificial
I know you are about to leave
There’s just one thing I want you to believe
In the choices that you make in life
I hope my words come to you and cut through you like a knife
You were more than just a friend to me
As anyone could also see
So please, I beg of you
Don’t let your life fall through
Sincerely,
Your Loving Friend
