Weddings and funerals
are now where we meet,
a bond once unbreakable
has now gotten weak.
Our conversations are laboured
and without any flow
until one of us picks up the
courage to say
they’ve somewhere to go.
Where once we were
considered inseparable,
now your company
makes me feel uncomfortable.
The fault is not yours,
but mine, I took our
friendship for granted
and didn’t put in the time.
I always meant to stay
in touch and see how you were,
but when it came to it,
I always found a reason to defer.
The opportunity would pass
and then it was too late,
our friendship retreated
back into history to stagnate.
Now when I see you,
I can’t but help feel regret
for losing the best friend
I could ever have met.
