Dear Friend,
I thought I knew you.
I had charted your lines on a graph.
I knew the things that made you laugh.
I knew the fears that made you cry.
I knew by your eyes what was brewing in your mind.
I guess I overlooked the thing that mattered the most.
Dear Friend,
I shared so much of my life with you.
At one point we had the same hopes and dreams.
I whispered things to you that no one else knew about me.
I never thought you would be the one to judge me.
Dear friend,
I sat in silence as you left.
Biting my tongue so much that blood poured.
I never wanted to be the one to hold you back.
So I hid my tear soaked pillows,
as I sat back and watched you soar.
Dear friend,
Close as sibilings we claimed we were.
You pushed me and I pushed back,
until the playful badgering
turned to hateful swords.
Now I sense the bitterness in your eyes.
I don't think I will ever really know what went wrong.
Dear friends,
Mistakes are made,
and lines are crossed.
Words are spoken out of ignorance and fear.
Things are changing,
and worlds are tossed.
Loyalty and irrationality turned out to be my downfall.
I will never stop thanking God
for each season brought to me.
Even as summer turns to fall.
Dear friends,
The love still remains,
But logically I am being told things must change.
It is a fact of this journey I must accept and move on.
Trusting as I keep walking,
my creater will pick up the pieces, and move me along.
