Striken
What just happened today?
I'm still in shock
The closest person I have to a friend
Just up and went away.
Why didn't I tell him then
What I've figured out now?
It's too late for all those words
And I really wouldn't know how
To tell him what he meant to me
Though even I don't know
I think I may have liked him
But emotions move too slow.
So afraid he'd laugh
So afraid I'd cry
Rejection is always the worst
So I didn't even try.
The sand is slipping from under me
Now that he's gone away
I need him here to hold me close
And tell me it's okay...
But what now?
