When events have taken over your time
Everything else has been put on hold
Control seems no long to be mine
You go with the rollercoaster and let it unfold
The things you want to do no longer can be done
Next week is your excuse but it never appears
Important friends you have accidently shun
Have I lost their friendship is one of your fears
When the time comes to catch up and talk
They are hurt and do not respond
Do you try again or do you just walk
Their friendship is really so fond
Events you couldnt avoid or foresee
Have taken the most precious gift
You hope and pray that return with glee
But reality is that you have created a rift
So my friend that I have lost through neglect
I wish to let you know I will hold you dear
So your identity I will always protect
But your name will remain with every tear
Forgive me for not being a good friend
Forgive me for neglecting you
Forgive me for the odd text I send
Forgive me for all calls you were due
