PRIDE

Pride
(c) 1982 Stephanie Durand (14 years old at time)

Now we apart
and I am to blame
Things are different
They are not the same

I thought I did not love you
I realize now that I am wrong
Now my life does not fit
And the nights seem so long

The part of my heart
That let you go
Is calling you back
But I'm not letting it show

It is not a secret
That I want to hide
It is just a part of me
It is just - my pride

But if pride should
stand in the way of love,
Then I wish it would step aside.
For if I were to say to you
"I don't love you, I don't miss you"
It would be - a lie.
