Part 4 - Friendship

Quit trying to make me laugh

I really feel like crying so please cease from doing otherwise,

You have no idea the depth of my pain.

You have no right to say it will be alright because it won't,

I know you mean me well but until I live out these feelings I won't be able to smile.

I wanna feel happy but I'm sad, I wanna dance but i don't feel glad.

Just give me sometime to think things through – so until then...

Quit trying to make me laugh!

I am fighting the urge to shed tears

I want so much to share in the laughter

But the aches and pains I feel have been bottled up for years

I know you detest to see me wear a frown

I know you mean me well but until I live out these feelings I won't be able to smile.

So quit trying to make me laugh!

You used to be my friend

People to see and greet, deadlines to meet, always in a hurry

Yet still you would take time out to comfort me whenever I happen to worry

Now all this concern has come to an end

Because you use to be my friend.

Not enough hours in the day

For you to telephone to say, ''hey!''

There's just no time to enquire about me

While I'm here praying for you, hoping all is well with thee

But things have changed on your part

Because you use to be my friend.

What has gone wrong

When we have been friends for so long?

Have I now become too commonplace?

Since things are now looking great.

I'm disappointed and betrayed

Because you use to be my friend.

I'm still missing you

Even though we speak on the phone

And you promised me you'll soon be home.

There's just this emptiness within me

That can only be filled by thee.

I want to be held by you

I want to enjoy the warmth of your smile too

I know you're just a call away

But what I'm feeling no words can say.

Its you I miss

A hug and a smile are just a few of the things to top my list.

Cause it's you I miss!

My Loss

I've lost a lover and a friend

Just like everything else all good things came to an end;

I allowed a rumour to ruin what we got

By assuming and accusing about things that were not;

I pushed you away with all I had to say

Now I'm left all by myself – dreading the light of day.
