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.
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?

Your poem touched my heart. There were 4 of us in our "bestfriends" group. We have all been friends over 15 years and all live in the same town. In 2004 I lost my older sister to cancer and then 29 days later I lost my dad to suicide. None of my 3 friends came to either funeral. That was almost 2 years ago now. I've only seen 1 of them since at a dinner party. I wish they only knew how selfish they are. Keep your beautiful work flowing.

i can relate to this poem very much because one of my very close friends which of course was a boy left me as soon as high school came around. he always told me beautiful things on how he was never going to leave and that we were always going to be together forever as friends but then we got close and we became more. yet i still dont talk to him as much as i would really like he was like a brother to me and he decided just to leave without even saying goodbye. thats why i relate ALOT to this poem and thank you for writing it because i know i couldnt even begin to write this. so on behalf of the non-poetically inclined THANK YOU!
