Consequence

I remember you, do you remember me?
I meant so much to you as you did to me
We would laugh all the time, could tell you anything
Memories we’ve built throughout the years and New Years we’ll Ring
I can see those days as if they were yesterday
Parties, family, laughter, or should I say
The best days of my life was always spending that time
I traveled from afar, and never once complained
This is who I am, for my family I’ll catch a plane
I went overseas to complete my mission
Came back because I missed you
You were my heart just like Aunt, you filled up that space and now you tear it apart?
I can’t explain the feeling that’s running thru my veins, all I do is replay
What happened? I spoke the truth? I didn’t hurt you, you chose to choose
There’s no missed call or even a message
I can’t believe you are really confessing
Not in words but actions, you’re telling me you died; this is just one of the facets
This is confusion, where does it end? You can’t continue to pretend
I tell myself its ok, but seen a picture and seen it remains
The answer to your questions is one door away
Be a man and stand tall, cause I’m a woman and I won’t fall
I’ve been thru worse, this is a hill
You’re my family, and for you I will
But if this is the way it has to be
Then always remember I won’t be the one to plea
