About the Poem

I wrote this poem at a time in my life in which my friend deserted me. It hurt me because I thought he really cared and it confused me so...the sudden change. I now know that when things get rough, you discover who your friends really are. I miss you.. Yet, I know it will never be the same.

And Where Were You?

I never thought I'd see this day,
I never thought I'd feel this way,
You...a stranger to me now.
I'm left with emptiness...
I wish I knew how it could be,
That we were once so open and free.
You were like my brother.. yet so much more
I wish I would have seen what I see now before.
For, I did not and it's too late...
My friend, my lover once, is now unknown.
And what hurts the most is I now know..
What I lost.. and I'm alone.
To face a challenge life has sent,
And not a moment with you I've spent.
I hope one day I can forgive you, my friend..
I miss you....
Why did you go?

Om my gosh. i can relate to this poem almost 100%. just recently a friend of mine whom i loved with all of my heart just randomly turned his back on me, and when i had a very close friend of both mine and his ask him what was up, he said that "he didn't know me. " and anyone who has ever had that happen to them knows it hurts them down to their very core to hear that from someone whom they loved and thought was their friend. so yeah. this poem really made me feel like i wasnt alone in this kind of thing. i loved it.
