What is A Friend?

The Bible says, "a friend loves at all times." I wanna be a friend. I lost someone I thought was a friend once. These are some of my response.

Keep You

Known you so long
We're kinda like good friends
I know you loved me once
Thought our relationship wouldn't end
Today I looked back
At yesterday and tomorrow
Where are you is the question
Were you just borrowed?

Can't I keep you?
I don't want a rental
Pick you up for a movie
One that isn't sentimental
Stay with me forever
Not a week or a year
No returns on this friendship
You're stuck with me dear

Don't know what happened
We haven't talked on the phone
I know you hung out once
Back when we were both alone
Today I looked out
At the dates in my mind
You're nowhere in sight
Did I forget to rewind?

Can't I keep you?
I don't want a rental
We'll go get coffee together
And we'll talk sentimental
Stay with me forever
Not a week or a year
No returns on this friendship
You're stuck with me dear

I wish I stopped to listen
Wish I first tried harder
You're so far away
Advancing even farther
I'm bringing out the reserves
Fighting for all I'm worth
You're still that important
One of the best humans on earth

Can't I keep you?
I don't want a rental
I gotta keep you
I'm being sentimental
Please come back forever
Not a week, not a year
No returns on this friendship
You're stuck with me dear


You Need A Rescue

You're sitting up late
In front of the screen
Typing away in the shadow
It hides you
Think you're laughing alone
You think you're unseen
Typing away in the shadow
It holds you

But I can see you
Gasping for air on the inside
Maybe I just imagine your sigh
Wishing you hadn't let go
Wishing the words you type
Would somehow get me to know
You need a rescue

Your face isn't smiling
In front of your screen
Crying alone in the shadow
It hurts you
The phone hasn't rung
So you think you're unseen
Crying away in the shadow
It tears you

But I can see you
Gasping for air on the inside
Maybe I just imagine your sigh
Wishing you called me sometime
Wishing the words you recite
Would somehow get me to write
I will come rescue

You never asked
Was I all wrong?
I think I know nothing
Wishing the words in this song
I'd be your true hero
In two seconds flat
But the truth is you don't care
And that is just that

I can see me
Gasping for air on the inside
I cannot imagine this sigh
Wishing you called me sometime
Wishing these words I recite
Would somehow get you to write
You need a rescue
