Losing a friend

I remember when we met.

Enamored by your charm.

We were friends from the start.

My pain was taken over by your words.

We told each other everything. 

Nothing was sacred, nothing was feared.

You became my best friend.

Someone I wanted near.

A once in a lifetime find.

You melted my heart.

Though you didn’t feel the same.

It tore me apart.

I couldn’t get close.

I tried to understand.

You were involved.

He is a lucky man.

When that day came.

Suddenly we were parted.

It didn’t take long.

For you to be silent.

I tried to maintain.

And I was divided.

I then realized.

The friendship was one sided.

Goodbye dear sweet friend.

We each go our own way.

I can’t be the only one to care.

I hope you realize that wasn’t fair.

Goodbye dear sweet friend.

I pray your life is long and on track.

I will too move on.

Life’s too short to look back.
