The hardships we faced have toughened us both.
"Friends forever," that was our oath.
But I may have been just a little too brash,
and ended up sending that oath to the trash.

I remember that time I hated you so,
for the way you were was different from most.
But now you've gone away whilst I'm here to stay,
and I wish I had known what not to say.

You were there for me when needed, and I always thanked you,
but when you were upset, I didn't know what to do.
I left you alone out of my own fears,
and I'll never get to know if you dried those tears.

A coward I am, a friend I am not.
All the lessons I learned, I went and forgot.
I continue on through my sick reality,
and silently wish you were here with me.

They say curiousity's what killed the cat,
but I know that what happened was much more than that.
Obnoxiousness and hate, and what's worse than that,
the truth is that clinginess is what killed the cat.
