Goodbye

for a long lost friend

 

I can’t say I’m not sorry

And it’s too hard to pretend.

I am quiet aware now

That these things will never mend.

 

In a year too much has passed.

Too many broken hearts

And not enough smiles.

Things are different now.

 

Even now it’s over

All that I can see

Is this faded memory

Of how we used to be.

 

Not as lovers

But as friends.

Before anyone else

You were my best friend.

 

I say goodbye now

As we go our separate ways.

But I will not forget

The better days.

This was fantastic! I have known the feelings that these words bring forth! Great job! Please come and read some one my poetry! I am new to the site but I will be adding more to my page soon.

Continue to write what lies within you and I will continue to come back for more!

Rock on!

Sweet and sad, but mostly sad. People who are close should always be that way, but of course they aren't. Thanks for sharing it, Nana. Sam
