Better Friend

Brilliant days, I miss
you in all your glory
but I like the silence more
don't need the big dramatic story.

I just wanted to believe in you
and you couldn't be simple and easy
and I was tired too like you
having to be the mediator between
mind and heart made me queezy.

I don't know why we had to be so hard
why couldn't we just love slow
but you always wanted so much
always right then
and we couldn't grow.

I may have been the complex one
and maybe you thought you could handle my way
but we can't figure when you became unhappy
in the beginning you expected little
it made you happy when I could stay.

Brilliant days, I miss
them,
and wonder if we can be
again
but it seems to me
you could've been a better friend.
