Missing My Bestfriend

For I long to be with you...my long- lost friend.

In my dreams it was just yesterday
Just you and I
sitting on a bench
sipping on the same mug
while talking endlessly
on the same story we had for years.

In my mind it was just the same
Just you and I
sleeping on the same bed
laughing on the same joke
hearing and smiling
on our embarrassing moment together.

In my heart, all things are still there:
the memoirs of our happiness
the pictures of our joy being together,
the song of our love,
the painting of our hearts,
all about the book of our minds.

Am I so pathetic to think all of these
Longing for our yesterday
which is impossible to revive,
Wishing for a dream
which could not come true?
Was it just but a fantasy?

Look at me now, my dear.
I am but a miserable one
asking some unending questions
that no one could answer.
For I dreamed of this love I once felt
but never to feel it once again.

Is it our destiny to grow old
to be far from each other
though  our hearts had tried enough
to bring back the love that once we shared?
Or we should surrender this dream
for we ourselves are the great impediments?

The connection that once we had,
shall we bring it back now?
I really want to be with you again
Like when we were in our younger years
when our love was at its peak
when you and I are best of friends. 

Author's Note

Nothing in this world is permanent. Change can be our friend or an enemy.
For me, a change in our relationship is our ruthless enemy. It moved us far from each other...in heart and mind. He was my best friend then...my dearest love. Time has changed both of us. It seems that our strong connection before has loosen. I really feel we are on opposite parts of this world now...

I can fully relate to this. And you are very right in saying nothing in this world is permanent. Sometimes change isn't always a bad thing though. It may seem like it at the time, but I believe other things will come along and teach us something new. Life is an experience. Our feelings and dreams are but a small part in it. It is sad when we love someone and are so close to them for so long and then suddenly they're like a memory. Just cherish that memory, and never regret anything that once made you smile. A wonderful write.

Best Friends are the best enemy for both shared everything together ~ I may not have experience it, but i understand the feelings very well ~ I don't have best friend i could considered very close in the outside world ~ i find the outside world people can't be fully trusted ~ human nature has a curve heart, there is always a snake beneath our roots ~ it's just a matter on how we tame it for what is right from wrong... In this case, the poem has experiences the blues of longing to that same friendship that had been lost, change unavoidable, though like they said change can be good, maybe because it can start a better way to see thing clearly... I hope you and your friend will see a better way to fix things up for a renewal of friendship, sabi nga nila: there is always a second chance in everything! :)

very well expressed kabayan!

Thanks, Pax. That was one of my old works here.

We are in the process of mending what has been broken. I hope we come to the end holding our hands together, like before.

And yes, there is always second chance...and for me, chances should be given not only twice...but until your hearts never stops to plea for their reunion.

you are most welcome kabayan ~ i know deep in your heart you still love your friend, and perhaps someday the broken connection will reconnect with hard steel for a solid friendship...
