With all the lies we seem to tell,
And all the secrets we hide behind.
Do they see, or only the cover shell,
Of a smile that appears so kind.

Why is it wrong, why is it bad?
Why can't I tell them what we had?
We both deceived the ones around us.
Yet I kept the secrets because I must.

Now you're gone and I'm so alone.
I still often visit your polished stone.
With their twisted expressions of hate,
I'm not sure of how much more I can take.

I'll still love you,I promise to love you,
We were always more than just 'best friends'.
But I couldn't be what you needed me to.
Hopefully you'll allow me to make amends.
