"I'm just saying the relationship needs to grow between you two whether as friends or something more. That's the something that has to happen. You're just in that awkward stage where nothing is really happening as friends."

Your Pain

I was selfish.
I didn't know how much you were in pain.
I refused to understand.
I didn't care how much I was making things difficult.
I didn't know! I didn't understand! I didn't care!
I saw your wounds. Wide and deep.
And for some reason I didn't care.
I was selfish
I didn't know your pain.

I was selfish
I am sorry if I forced my feelings on you
When all you really needed was a friend.
And what an awful friend I was.
I will never know how much it hurt.
And I will never fully understand.
But now, I get it!
I see your pain. I see the scars. I see the tears
And I know! I understand! I care!
I was selfish
I didn't know your pain.
