Somewhere along our memory

Every time we would hang out
I'd recollect tears of joy
We've been best friends since school
Since before I turned fifteen

Do you remember
When the police found me?
After I ran away
It was your mum who took me in
The night before
I returned to my family
The smiles we shared that night
And the stories we told
The hours we spent playing together
I knew what we had
Was something very special

And during Covid
We would see each other
Every day
Sharing our interest in music
Going to the CD store
And walking for hours on end

Your smile was contagious
When you were round mine
My parents heard me laugh
For the first time in years
They loved you

In August 2021
I cried over your shoulder
For the first time
You heard my struggle
And my cry for help

Now time has moved on
After years of friendship
Things took a turn

Your faith in god
And my faith in self
Has took it's turn
Now you don't want to see me

After six years
Of fond memories
Why did you have to leave?

Why did you have to hurt me?
I can't let you go
