The Ballad of Lost Friends

It was a mundane Monday in the middle of April
When you said that you loved me like a friend
I could see a sad look come across your face
When I said "Got love for family and not friends"
I could see the sadness swell up in your chest
But was too naive to ever care
I hugged you goodbye
Said now don't you cry
And that was the last day for us my dear
I didn't mean to hurt your feelings babe
But I couldn't have you around me anymore
With every word that fell off your lips
My heart would just feel heavier
I know it might've been a selfish thing
To never talk to you after that day
But it felt like the only option babe
So I'm sorry that I ghosted you
I'm sorry that I ghosted you
It was a terrible Tuesday at some random ass party
Right in the beginning of June
I saw you there standing against that wall
Looking so out of place and so blue
You turned to me asking desperately
It's been two months
Where have you been?
I've tried to die without you right here by my side
I so badly needed a friend
I said
I didn't mean to hurt your feelings babe
And I'm awfully sorry that you cried
But with every inch of self hate in your heart
You'd take it off and put it right on mine
I know it might've been a selfish thing
But I couldn't take the pain one more day
It felt like the only option babe
So I'm sorry that I ghosted you
I'm sorry that I ghosted you
Looking at you now
Four years later
It seems like you're on your feet
Reporting back that
You got some new love
And a newfound smile on your cheeks
I still look back on that mundane Monday
Way back in 2016
I need to tell you
I'm still so sorry for
Leaving you alone in the street
I didn't mean to hurt your feelings babe
But I couldn't have you around me anymore
With every word that fell off your lips
My heart would just feel heavier
I know it might've been a selfish thing
To never talk to you after that day
But it felt like the only option babe
So I'm sorry that I ghosted you
I'm sorry that I ghosted you
I'm sorry that I ghosted you
