I Can’t Not
// March 6th, 2010 // 8 Comments » // My Life
If your are my friend
and I call you so…
I can’t not care
and let things go
When you’re strong and high
and your spirit soars
I can’t not smile
and wish you more…
When the tables turn
and your heart is torn
I can’t not hurt
or cry or mourn
If you walk and talk
but the walk is a farce
I can’t not admonish
that you mind your heart
If my heart is stirred
and your life will be bettered
I can’t not utter
what the spirit has shared
If I love you I love you
and you cannot escape it
I can’t not be there for you
when you can no longer take it
you may not care now
and you may not care ever
but I can’t not speak
and abandon you never
If you know my heart true
and your honor I’ve earned
then measure me grace
and my counsel don’t spurn
I measure my words
so often with care
but I can’t not speak up
as if I’m not there
If your are my friend
and I call you so…
I can’t not care
and let things go
