An Unknown Goodbye

I thought my day would be happy
full of smiles, and laughter and joy
strange how all those plans you had
one bit of news could destroy

You were there when I needed friends
we played so much we did
we told what was on our minds
no secrets had we hid

So why did they do this to me?
why did you go away?
I never got to say goodbye
on your leaving day

It hurts me now, as it always does
to see a good friend go
what hurts the most is the people we were
will never be ones we will know

We never saw each others faces
only words and names we made
now we'll never get that chance
I watch another dream fade

Why does fate sit and laugh at me?
why does luck treat me so bad?
can't they have let me say just once
how much you mad me glad?

Curse the way life works sometimes
dam fate, and luck, and time
I'm so angry, sad, all those types of feelings
I can't even think of a ryhme

I know those words I'll have to say
they can't wait, like the tears I'll cry
I don't want to see you go
I don't want to say.....goodbye.
