~ The Two Of Me ~

I think there must be two of me
One who means to say
To all that I have ever known
Yet didn't get to and somehow didn't know how
That I am so sad if I missed seeing you
But I am so pulled this way and that
I am sad then that I passed you by
The me that would have chosen
To take you to a higher place
But the other me didn't fully see your need
In the shadows pulling at my life
I'm sorry if I didn't get to say goodbye

Sometimes I get all caught up
In the me I am or is meant to be
Life is a tangled web thus far
Of all to be done and I forget
How to love you properly then
I am sad I didn't tell you why
And let you know how lovely that you are

How could I not remember all the special
Little things I could have said
I am sad that I didn't get to come
To meet your heartfelt cry
Or give you a hug
To release your care away
I wish there was a way

But being the me I am and the one I wish to be
Tied to earth, I just cannot
Come close enough to all you need
But in the sadness of my heart
It brings me to know
That I can always pray
To uplift you to heaven's throne
And this I shall do today
Every time you come to mind
Though I cannot be here and also there for you
God can be, His love is reaching now to you
Dearest friend of mine
