A Lost Friend

They say
How is your friend doing?
I fake a smile and say
Yeah fine

They don't know that you have left
I used to think,
wow you are such a gift
That God blessed

But i was fooled
By the mask you used to wear
But I can't even declare
To them that you have left

Call me ashamed
Or even call me a coward
For not saying

But what should I tell them?
That you left
Because I wasn't good enough

Because I did all the effort?
And my effort wasn't enough
Tell me
What should I tell them

See?
Silence is the best answer for you and me
