ode to a former friend

by nednarb - Capricorn

where did I go wrong?
when did you stop caring?
what caused the breakup,
of a friendship that was once so sharing?
I wonder each and everyday,
about the many fun times we've had.
now I just observe from far away,
my heart forever sad.
whatever the reason,
its no longer in my hands.
I've tried to make things right.
I've tried so hard to win this fight.
but there are a few things,
I wish for you to know.
so my mind can be at ease,
and no longer toil with the pleas.
thank you for the friendship,
we once shared.
thank you for the times,
you did seem to care.
thank you for the laughs,
and thank you for the tears.
thank you for the words,
that would wipe away my fears.
I regret the loss,
of such a friend.
I regret those good times,
that have come to an end.
but all good things must pass,
I once heard someone say.
and I guess this friendship of ours,
has finally reached that day.
I was never much good at goodbyes,
especially those unexpected.
but I guess I could see it coming,
now having reflected.
so I bid thee farewell,
and best of luck ahead.

Reason for writing:

    hoping again for a friendship...
dedicated to L.D.J.
