Tonya...

It's So strange the way we part from our plans

How simply we set aside the dreams we’ve had

Important things we once believed in

Suddenly begin to wear thin

Without notice a change in you appears

There is nothing I can do to hold back the tears

You broke my heart in more than one way

How do you live with that every day?

Maybe this is merely my being selfish

All I can do now is pray and wish

That you will realize and see the light

That I didn’t say those things out of spite

I only wanted to protect my best friend

Can I say nothing to make you comprehend?

Selfishness was not on my part alone

You’ve hurt me more than you could’ve known

Endless days and months pass by

Unanswered questions slip aside

Is this all a game to you now?

I just don’t understand how

Unless I honestly meant nothing to you

Simply discarded as an old torn shoe

Do I even pass through your cold hearted mind?

For just a second do you ever find

The thought of me appealing as you remember

The times we’ve spent talking together

It’s impossible to count the times I’ve cried

And the hours spent thinking as I try

To decide what it is that drove you from me

And change my mind as I try to plea

For your forgiveness from the harsh words I’ve said

For keeping things locked in my head

You can’t imagine how much I miss you

I want you to talk to me as we used to

All I have left are wishes and prayers

That you will somehow remember and care

How much we all love and miss you here

And how your memory I will always hold dear
