I Never thought

We'd sit so close

Sitting next to you

Was sitting next to a rose

Days we sat abreast

While riding on the bus

A Friendship turned

To love that wouldn't last

Hearing you propose

As I walked

You home from school

Having not a clue

What you were running

From or what he did to you

Wishing I hadn't gone along

With your love request

As I said that day

Friendship would be best

Oh Girl, what became of you

I was just a boy

There was nothing I could do

Oh Girl, please forgive

I was just a boy

Unable to assist

In that which you

Were trying to avoid

Anguished knowing

You were leaving town

Hurtful learning you mislead

And were still around

Haunting to recall my sister

Coming home and saying to me

I just saw her at the mall

Kissing with a boy passionately

Running out to see you raised

Through my mind that day

But seeing you turn away

From me would've been

A painful sight to bear

Countless tears fell

As I played

Night Comes Down by Judas Priest

Sobbing over years

Of friendship we would miss

Oh Girl, what became of you

I was just a boy

There was nothing I could do

Oh Girl, please forgive

I was just a boy

Unable to assist

In that which you

Were trying to avoid

Sitting here wondering

If you ever told your mother

Wishing I'd been old enough

To confront your father

As we know today

That wouldn't be the case

Memories of events

That happened in those days

Oh Girl, what became of you

I was just a boy

There was nothing I could do

Oh Girl, please forgive

I was just a boy

Unable to assist

In that which you

Were trying to avoid

Days of youth passed

And forever gone

Hoping that you're married

And in love with a real good man

As for me, I've never been the same

Wondering what if I'd resisted

Wondering who's to blame
