To Be Honest

Without warning, I went black

That lasted over a week

Not a word of condemnation when I came back

I wonder if you know what that means

When I do that, it’s never planned

Life gets overwhelming, enough so that it’s hard to withstand

 

To be honest, I don’t know how long it’s been

We started talking through that dumb secret app

Texting consistently, you’re actually my best friend

Mostly sending tiktoks or pictures of my cat

It’s not always super deep

But it’s everything I need

 

Your daughter is amazing

I know you know that

She’s going to follow her dreams

It’s from you that she learned that

It’s a second-hand love I have for her

But it’s real, of that I’m sure

 

Never doubt I love you dearly

Even when I go dark

I know you’re always going to hear me

From the beginning, we had a spark

Friendship may be all it is right now

But to be honest, friendship is all I really know about

 

Thank you for being who you are

Always there even from afar

It’s taken way too long for me to do this

I’ve written many different ideas that were barely about you

So finally, I found words that actually fit

Doing this is a personal thing, but I still share with you
