What will it take
To get you to say that I'll try?

that's all i'm asking for right now.
those two words.
is it too much to ask?

do you have to lose a friend to gain one?
seems that way at this point in time.
or somewhat.
i lost him, i got you.
and i've lost you, and i got him.
thing is, losing you bothers me. very much.

ironically, we're so formal with each other now.
i want the casualness back in our conversations.
or what little conversations we have now.
it came so easily. and i want it back.

so much effort is put in to build up a relationship,
and so little is needed to break it apart.
if only it could be the other way.
