In Love & War: Friends First

 




Hadn't I need you? 

  In all that time? 


  In all that time? 


My fault is that I understand too deeply...


  But, didn't I need you? 

  

    A friend? 



    and in all that I had done, 

 To dust my feet of those 

    that had chosen 

       so long ago? 


  Did I still not need YOU, 

      of all people? 


Had I ever asked you to be perfect or something you were not? 


  Or was my sin, 

     Just loving you alone? 


Is that why you would punish me? 

  

When all in fact you ever had to do, 

   Was talk? 



I did need you, 

   A friend. 


But perhaps no friend of good you could be then, 


  So we both 

let you walk away. 


Yet know that is all I really was asking from you; 


That and perhaps, 


       to Let me love you...


For just simply I did. 



Perhaps still...


  I need that. 


  Yet I have understood, 


    If no friend you can be. 



I guess I just wish...


   You would have talked to me.
