You Could Have Asked Me
You could have asked me
Seems you have made an offense greater.
How is it, you could only handle those good times?
I thought our friendship was something deeper
Than to cancel things out after just one disagreement
It really is unkind of you to finalize our good friendship this way.
But you’re prepared to throw it out the door
After just one disappointment – I did not perform so well.
Could you have not given me the benefit of the doubt and cared to ask me why?
But no, for some reason, there is this unexpected chide.
If you could have asked me, I would have allayed those fears
I had somehow changed from the person you’ve known for years.
And you would once again feel the warmth you’ve grown so accustomed to……
you now keep out of sight.
I did not know where you were coming from
You also did not with me.
Just for one disagreement, you are prepared to throw away the years.
Surprised at you dear friend, you have the insight to reason why
But no, instead, you’ve confronted me with This unpleasant surprise.

Now This Mystery
All a sudden this stranger,
I don’t know how you tick
The person I knew so well.
I could always be sure of you’re response In the happy times and the sad.
You could also be sure of mine – this often made you glad.
Now all a sudden we’re strangers.
I cherish the memories….. I think you’ve thrown yours away.
Now confronted with this mystery. Only God’s Peace Remains.
Why would you act in such a way?
I thought you were not one to keep a grudge
Are you still hurting, insecure?
I do not now have a hunch.
I only know you’ve distanced me
I rest my case on God.
For Jesus walked this Earth
as a Man acquainted with grief
When His friends faced a challenge
They also played ‘hide and seek’
You know I’m not good at that
I’ve had my share with other friends.
You were so loyal to me
And now this sudden end.
Surprised at you dear friend.
