Did I Ever Tell You
By Chuck McGlawn Chuckest@aol.com
Did I ever tell you,
Just how nice you are?
Let me say it here today
You are my shinning star.
Did I ever tell you
How each and every day
You fill my life with happiness
And turn drudge into play
Did I ever tell you
How times when I am down
Your e-mail seems to pop up
And turns things all around
Did I ever tell you
Thanks for all you share
How when I need a friend most
You’re always just right there
Did I ever tell you
Though mere words can’t convey
Just how much you mean to me.
Well, I’m telling you today.
Metamorphosis
Companions and acquaintances
Slowly become friends and lovers
Through shared time and experience.
Ever so steadily, a person’s true face
Shines through whatever façade
They’ve donned to cloak insecurities.
Some at first, are beautiful and glowing,
While some, are unfortunately unattractive.
But as time drawls on the pretty turn ugly,
And the uncomely become butterflies,
Unveiling a stunning pair of wings.
Good Times
A D
It started out in the sixth grade
we met and we became friends
Always been real with each other
E Never felt the need to pretend
I became a part of you
And you became a part of me too
I hope we still remember each other
No matter what we E do
Cause we always had...
We always had good times good times
Always had good times good times
We always had good times good times together
We always had good times good times
Always had good times good times
I hope you had a good time good time with me
Your hair is curly
Mine is straight
You wake up bright and early
while I get up late
We're totally opposite
but in some ways alike
Doesn't matter
Who's wrong or right
We always had good times good times
Always had good times good times
We always had good times good times together
We always had good times good times
Always had good times good times
I hope you had a good time good time with me
without you
Wonder what I'd do
You would have a hunch
But I would have no clue
So we're better together baby that's no lie
We could never hate each other no matter how hard we try
Like Robin Thicke girl I'm lost without you
If you do your math right one and one make two
You know what they say two heads are better than one
Switch it up everyday never see a rerun
You're into superheroes
ironman and batman
Don't know what to do
But you always have a game plan
Unlike a cellphone
Never trade you in for an upgrade
Never shy away never be afraid
The kind of friend that always stays true
Never let you go cause I met someone new
No matter where I go your always in my heart
Nothing in the world can ever tear us apart
Cause we always had...
We always had good times good times
Always had good times good times
We always had good times good times together
We always had good times good times
Always had good times good times
I hope you had a good time good time with me
Cause I really had a good time good time with you
These Walls
By Your Side
the pain will subside
it will go away soon
I will be by your side
as we watch the new moon
there will no longer be a struggle
and we can sit by a fire
while we relax and snuggle
and when we retire
I will still be your friend
we can watch the old moon
as our lives come to an end
Thought We Were Friends
I thought we were friends,
you acted like
we were friends,
but now I just don't know!
Someone we both know,
someone who was first your friend,
told me about you.
She told me how you've
been talking about me.
You've been saying how
you're not fond of me.
Then you smile around me,
act like we're friends,
sending my head into
a tornado spin!
I get so confused,
don't know what to think,
don't know what to do.
I thought we were friends,
but maybe we're not,
maybe I'm just a friend of the moment...
But,
I've been here
each time you need me,
needed me to be there for you.
And once in a while,
you're there for me
when I need you...
So,
I don't know what
I'm supposed to do...
I don't know what
I'm supposed to think...
I don't know what
I'm supposed to feel...
I thought we were friends...
People Walk Over Me
What is it,
what is it,
that makes me be seen
as someone that
people can walk over?
I'm not quite sure
what it is about me,
but I'm really not good
at making good friends...
Now,
I can make new friends
pretty easily,
if I want to...
But most of the time,
I get friends who just
walk all over me,
who use me,
who keep me around
just for when they need me.
What is it,
what is it,
that makes me be seen
as someone that
people can walk over?
I want to have friends
who treat me
as well as I treat them!
Who want to hang out
with me.
Who text me back,
or even text me first!
What do I have to do
to have good friends?!
What is it,
what is it,
that makes me be seen
as someone that
people can walk over?
This doesn't seem
like I'm asking for much,
I just want a few good friends,
who will treat me right!
When, oh when,
will I get
some friends like this?
What is it,
what is it,
that makes me be seen
as someone that
people can walk over?
Best Friends Are Like Stars
Best friends are like stars on a cloudy night
you may not see them but you know they are always there
through thick or thin their friendship will always shine bright
You both can share the times of laughter and the times of sorrow
and those little secrets shared are safe and kept forever
there’s never a doubt each of you will be there come tomorrow
Even if life’s path changes along the way and one moves away
distance and time can never change the bond between best friends
that truly special friendship in each others heart is there to stay

Regrets
My only regret is not hugging you that night,
not attempting to beat you at beer pong,
not moving a little closer when we were both freezing,
not letting you know how adorable you looked,
not telling you how ecstatic I was that you showed up...
I just hope that through that simple goodbye
you knew what I was thinking,
and maybe you, too,
had the same regrets.
