where are you now?

where are you now?

i hope things are fine.

it's been a long while,

still torn in my mind.

never really knew each other,

didn't have much time.

you didn't ask, didn't care,

just left me behind.

i don't want your sympathy,

your grief or your tears.

all i wanted was you,

to take back all those years.

i suppose things got hard,

maybe a bit too much to take.

you say you wanted to be with me,

words are so easy to fake.

now i'm older,

wisdom is coming to me.

i know i don't want to be like you,

a real man is what i'll be...
