Hello Is Easy

Separated by,
Forces of nature, I,
Don't know what to do.

Things got out of hand,
I wish I could take a stand,
'Cause you know that I miss you.

All I can tell you is,
That I still reminisce,
I can't believe you're gone.

One day I will say,
How your words made my day,
And they can't take it all.

Hello was easy,
Laughing all night,
Crying was hard to do,
But you made it right.

So I will break all the rules,
I'll make it clear for you,
I'll make the sacrifice.

Walking in the door,
Is hard to do anymore,
But I need you in my life.

And I can't take it,
Climbing the walls they built,
Do they know that it hurts?

One more day of lies,
I can't look them in the eyes,
Our friendship slowly burns.

Hello is easy,
Laughing is right,
Goodbye is hard to say,
Can't put this out of mind.

Come and get me when it's done.
'Cause I've decided I won't run.
I hope things turn out for the best,
So many things put to the test.

Our friendship was granted,
It's something I wanted,
I know from the outside
It seemed wrong
But I can't help
What has been done.

Hello isn't easy,
When goodbye comes so soon.

Why was hello easy,
When goodbye had to come so soon?

Don't take this to be a romantic poem. It's not either of those things, actually. It's not romantic or a poem - in my head, it's a song, and it makes me immensely sad. It's about how I became friends with somebody I wouldn't have expected to become friends with. This person didn't necessarily changed my life, but he taught me how to look at it in a better way. I grew to love this person, and I started to see him as something of a father figure. I still do love him, but he isn't my father at all. Long story short, very recently a series of unfortunate events (hardy har har) occurred and being friends with this person no longer seems the right thing to do. I still am, though. After everything, cutting ties with him seems too hard to do. I don't think I'd be able to. Despite the ending of this song, which implies I DID cut ties with this person, I certainly didn't. It feels that way sometimes, but I'm very close with this person and I won't sever the friendship because of what's happened.

I know one person on this site who's going to know exactly who I'm talking about, a good (*cough*very-blond*cough) friend of mine. So I might as well give the initials so as not to confuse anybody.

Dedicated to J.S.

I'm not a mushy, touchy feel-y person, usually, but I felt like writing this and "With You" tonight. It feels weird being mushy.

EDIT: Actually, since everything happened, this is really dedicated to: S&R, B&C, L&C&S, R, and a lot of other names I'm ashamed to say I can't remember. Still to J.S. as well. Thanks.
