Friendship

[Seth]

In a bit of a dry spell...

I remember telling you,
That I needed not a thing,
That my life was complete,
And I wanted you to leave.
But now I tend to wonder,
What I'm looking for in life,
Why am I here when nobody
Cares about me anymore?

I come to think that maybe,
My life isn't all that full,
And the life I grew accustomed to,
Was but an image all this time.
My heart feels so heavy,
And I don't laugh all that often,
It's hard to believe,
That I didn't see this coming.

You remember when I yelled,
And told you to go away?
I didn't need a loser,
To hang around with me...
But now I know I was stupid,
And I was totally out of line,
And that what I needed,
Was someone by my side.

All this winter I have thought and pondered,
And I believe I know the truth,
That my life was a complete disaster
And I actually needed you.
I want to apologize for my past behavior,
Because you deserved none of it.
And so, I know it's a lot -maybe too much- to ask,
But even after all of this, will you still be my friend?

sometimes the hardest thing is to realize, almost to late, what a gem you have in a friend...and taking hat in hand and asking forgiveness is a big step....this poem shows the emotion and thought behind that step very well....great piece Seth!

I have felt this way before and regretted the mean things I have said. As we get older we sometimes gain the presence of mind to stop hurting people and not say the mean things that we in the future regret. I hope so, for me and you as well if that is your wish. Again a poets words ofrten carry more weight than they were meant to carry.
