And they said,
you look so sad,
like you just lost
your best friend,
and I wondered how they knew.
Surely they did not see me crying,
no one saw me til I was threw.
They said I always seemed so happy,
with a big smile on my face.
Little did they know, what that smile
often did hide,
but this time was special,
and my smile couldn’t do
it's job.
It had taken the day off,
or maybe went to hide away,
to never again be seen.
It was true, but kind of not,
I did lose my best friend,
but the loss came long ago,
and it took us this much time,
before I would let my heart know,
so how can each one love the other,
but when all is said and done,
neither have the other,
but both just turn and run?
I will not chase you, Ben Quick,
if you feel this need to run.
