Who you were I never knew
Maybe you were a good actor
Maybe you were just always like this
Maybe, a thousand maybe's
I never knew you that is for sure
Other people found you strange
However I always took up for you,
And tried to see the best in you
Now it is too late, because life has passed me by
I can imagine it is a scenario that a lot of people have lived with
Or as we speak are living with the same thing
Perhaps in old age we all face this type of thing
Perhaps the children are meant to lighten our futures
And put a smile on our faces
