I Pray

Where did time go that you grew to be so?
Where did time show us a smile?
I look on the shadow of who you once were
I know my heart will be sad for the while
I took on a new place when you came in my life
You brought me happiness and gladdened my heart
You were smart, you were pretty, you were one of a kind
You were special, right from the start
But now you whither in a shell of that girl
You live in tatters and rags
How sad my heart is to think of you now
How you will soon have nothing but bags
No friends to call out to, no home to live
You gave it all up for nothing but air
I don’t understand the choices you’ve made
But you know that I always have cared
I remember you starting to go down that road
I remember you were just but a girl
You were too young to know cool from wrong
You thought you were the top of the world
So now I see you and know you aren’t mine
I know if I speak you will turn me away
But know that I love you and know that I care
Know that my heart hurts, and for you, I pray
