Dear Friend

I should be able to say that I remember it like yesterday
But I guess my nightmares go away
A little more with each break of day
I know how I reacted, but I can't feel how it felt when it happened
I've got your name tattooed on my shoulder
But is it time or life or this world that's made me colder?

Sometimes I wanna miss you like it's the day right after
I wanna be able to reminisce and hear your laughter
I'm so sorry that there's days that I don't think about you
You don't deserve that and the world didn't deserve you

There's things that remind like butterflies and that song from your MySpace
I hear your Mom is doing great
And I know she makes sure your little brother knows your face
It's been fourteen years since the text got deleted
It was an invitation, I should have been there I could have been there

Sometimes I wanna miss you like it's the day right after
I wanna be able to reminisce and hear your laughter
I'm so sorry that there's days that I don't think about you
You don't deserve that and the world didn't deserve you

Next year on your birthday you'd be thirty, we're all grown up now
I'd like to think we would have kept in touch when life got in the way
But now I keep up with our friends from my computer
Maybe I should call them, I should call them

Sometimes I wanna miss you like it's the day right after
I wanna be able to reminisce and hear your laughter
I'm so sorry that there's days that I don't think about you
You don't deserve that and the world didn't deserve you

There's things that remind me
