Was A Friend

Dm
Furry kind of greeting, not exactly hostile
Dm
Not exactly facing, not exactly turning away
Dm
Not exactly frowning, not exactly smiling
Dm
Lurking by the door
                             Bm
Without a sign of wanting to move
              Gm                        Dm
Though hardly friendly, not an angry gesture
                           Bm
Did it make. Just quite unnerving
            Gm
It's been a long time

Dm
I almost forgot were we buried the hatchet
Dm
"Bin a long time no see", (pidgin English
Dm
Native to none). After several silences
Dm
A cautious head nod. This could take forever
                          Bm
Did it want to come for a dig? It did
    Gm                        Dm
Not answer. I was feeling restless at the door
           Bm                      Gm
Ashamed of my fears. Where WAS the hatchet?

Dm
Suddenly was gone. I woke up
Dm
Feeling stupid. No-one else awake
Dm
Though dawn was only minutes away
Dm
Quietly I rose to fill the morning pee pot
Dm
What a silly dream
                                 Bm
Not like what really would have occurred
               Gm
Old wounds are healing
                    Dm
Faded scars are painless – just an itch
          Bm
We are forgiven
            Gm
It's been a long time
