After a Friend Has Left
__________________________________
I'm alone once again to think by myself
The radio murmurs in the background
Silence is much louder than it sounds
It mocks the questions in my head
The questions that came when you left
Why does the sun rise every day
If it doesn't shine within our hearts?
Why does the moon sparkle with light
But doesn't shine on certain nights?
And why did you have to leave me again
When we were once the best of friends?
The years fly by and I wait by myself
You must be far away across the sea
It's wide and blue and I can't get to you
It mocks the questions in my head
The questions that came when you left
Why does the tide always come in
If it doesn't wash away our pain?
Why does the river run to the sea
But doesn't carry you to back to me?
And why did you have to leave me again
When we were once the best of friends?
I wish you'd called to say goodbye
I wish we'd had a chance to cry
But I believe we're best of friends
Even though you've left again
