Now All I Can See

Talk to you for hours
and hours at a time.
But now you push me away.

Wish that it wasn't like this.
That I could get my friend back
but the more you change the less I want to stay.

Its hard, you see,
for me to make friends
and for awhile now I've felt comfortable with you.

But ever since this evil entity
came between us
all I've felt is our friendship falling through.

Why must this happen to me?
All I've ever wanted was you to be
the one I could run to.

And now it just hurts
that all I can see
it nothing between you and me.

I changed the ending because it symbolizes that our friendship is kind of off kilter.
