Being Cryptic

I thought we were so close

You and I

You always meant the world to me

So as I put you on a pedestal

A friend amongst my friends

A friendship I took seriously

One I was sure I’d never lose

But now a month has passed

Since I’ve heard your pretty voice

Or shared in your adventures

Stories of your days

I can’t help but wait and wonder

Where did we lose our way

I know I made mistakes

I know I did you wrong

Anger got the best of me

I hated to see you go

I’ll never forget your smile

Or that glimmer in your eyes

The tear that rolled down on your cheek

As you said goodbye

It’s the last memory I have

And one I hold with pride

But as the days turned into weeks

And chances seem to pass

Where’s the friend I’d never lose

The one I fear is gone for good

Is this just my overthinking

Forever analyzing

Did our friendship mean as much

To you as it did for me?

I think of things you once had said

That I may have overlooked

I fear this road was one way

With no chance of return

You know of what you meant to me

And how much you still do

I realize I really have no clue

Of what I mean to you

I know you’ll never tell me

And I’ll forever be in the dark

I guess it’s meant to be this way

A lesson I must learn

Never open up your heart

To someone who calls you “friend”

For they disappear into the night

The only one who is ever there

When you really need them

Will be you and you alone

I enjoy the way and rhythm in which you express this universal feeling. However sometimes 'you alone' isn't enough, you need an element of risk in order to feel surely?
