You are gone

by Kelly Hamrick - Gemini

It all seemed like a harmless thing
for you to have a good night
I thought that you would never get caught
and so I didn’t stop your fun
The guilt lays over me
that I could have stopped it some how
You would still be here
and we would talk on the phone
about the night you had before
Although I know it wasn’t my fault
and I have tried too long
You are my best friend
And its hard to let everything go
All the fun nights of movies and drinks
and football in the street
All the talks we had
about the boyfriends to come
Its all faded in a memory
because you are gone

Reason for writing:

    My best friend snuck out of her house one night and got caught and got sent away to her fathers, and i never got to say goodbye to her.  In a way i feel like part of it was my fault because i didn't stop her and i didn't stop her boyfriend from calling and getting her caught.  But now, i have lost my best friend, and there is no way of getting into contact with her.
