Please Don't Turn Away

It wasn't supposed to turn out this way
Those many months ago when this all started
All I wanted was to tell you how I once felt
To let you know that this was the best
You were the closest friend I ever had
But something went wrong, things went too far
And now that I've tried to fix it
Things have gotten worse
A friendship that once thrived
Now lies in ashes about our feet
I don't know what I said to gurt you
Everything seemed to be fine
But now it's all in ruin
And you don't even want me near
I thought we said things wouldn't change
That we would stay friends
Nothing was going to change
Even if it hurt inside
Something inside you changed
What it is, I do not know
The friendship we wanted no longer exists
Your feelings have turned cold
This is the thing that hurts me
Though the pain I do not show
You no linger want to be near me
And it tears me apart inside not knowing
What it is I've said or done
So far now all I can say is this
Please don't turn away
