Softer Still

my thoughts abound to my mind of the past
to fears of those friendships that might not last

each friend might be temporary, but i try my best
here today gone tomorrow; you know the rest

many people have i just met
and they each one; they let me in
things they’ve done and places they’ve been

from people in our lives to postmodern art
i just couldn’t believe this love in my heart
your hurts you hide, but you’re even still thankful
my problems shrink in compare, i had thought them a handful

you shared warmth with me and you never lied
my heart it broke and i stole away and cried
