Analysis of To and be
I had to go through that time
wondering if my heart was going to die
swimming through my tears
all alone I waded those years
but somehow I made it
and my heart learned to mend
haphazardly with a crack and a bend
all alone I waded those years
but magic happened,
a friend came along
that took away the sad song
that gave me a smile
and a laugh
and some company at last
maybe i did not have to wade through it all alone
a friend that helped me sing a different song
no longer did i regret what was gone
however i started to love that friend
and my heart even with the mend
was warped and darkened from past demise
started to push the friend away
with alot of awful things i would say
trying to keep my feelings at bay
has made me sad and alittle bit mad
but i hope they see
it's not who i am supposed to be
i hope they know how much i love them so
i pray they realize how much they mean to me
because my friend you see
is my best friend indeed
please forgive me...
