Saving A Friendship

It's getting in the way again, the way it always does,
You still see me as that hopeless girl still in love with you,
You still feel pain and guilt for tossing me behind,
And you won't forgive yourself no matter what I say or do.

So if you can't get past it, do me a favor and pretend it never happened.
Because by now it's long into the past, it's ok now to forget.
I've been thinking about before it all happened, and I realized something-
I'm loosing a friend I once had, and I don't want to do that yet.

Remember how easy everything used to be before it?
We were as tight as a knot, close as two peas in a pod -best friends.
Almost every part of us we had in common, we did everything together,
And we made a pact to be like that till the end.

There were no foolish fights over nothing or stupid small stuff,
And there was none of this distancey, bitter, jealous crap!
You used to tell me everything, now you tell me nothing at all.
So tell me this, Darling, what happened to that?

We were just friends keep each other up no matter what,
Can you even remember that we had brighter days?
We were naive to love and broken hearts, not ready for what was to come,
But we thought what we had would never go away.

Do you remember that day long ago in the caff
You once said it was your best and favorite memory.
I'm trying to off you the chance to be like that again so take it-
We'll both be happier, more care-free, but mostly? We'll be back once more to that normality.

I'm not saying our decisions were just a big mistake;
After all, they've made us the strong people we are today.
You once said the past should stay in the past, so follow your own advice,
And maybe what we had before last year's Halloween might stay.

Things are just so different now; it's not always a good thing.
It's gotten so hard just to get through to you.
I wish I could go back to when we were actually happy,
And it makes me wonder if you ever miss that too.

I guess I'm really just trying to save our friendship
Because you're on of the few people actually worth it.
I know we can fix this if we just try it together;
We can put back the pieces and find a way to make them fit.

I understand we've been through a lot, both together and apart,
And I understand that things never stay the same.
But here's our chance to get back to that normality I know you've so longed for too!
If you can't stand the craziness and tension we have now, then Darling, it's time to change.

So if you can't get past it, do me a favor and pretend it never happened.
Because by now it's long into the past, it's ok now to forget.
I've been thinking about before it all happened, and I realized something-
I'm loosing a friend I once had, and I don't want to do that yet.

I'm in if you are, so what do you say, Darling?
