I Once Had a Friend

I once had a friend

A soulmate, not a fiend

She said she loved me and cared for me

And, with her time and attention, she never failed me.

Time and again, she vowed, our friendship will never cease,

No matter how long, no matter how far, our hearts will never be apart.

Years have passed, our lives have taken different paths,

I thought the friendship we had

Will never be quashed.

But, somehow, someway, without caution, she turned away.

I have no clue why, but boy, my heart broke like wildfire.

I once had a friend

I treasured her as a gem

Like a diamond, shining, brilliant, and superb.

I surmised that no matter what, our friendship was built to last.

Alas! My friend shunned me; I am confused, I do not know why

What have I done? Where did I go wrong?

Why did I deserve to be abandoned and be alone?

To you my once upon a time friend,

I hope you know; I am still here.

I maybe thousands of miles away,

But for you, my heart and soul are the same.

I hold you dear in my heart, and memories of you have not waned.

We had a beautiful friendship, a friendship I thought

Will never crumble and fall.

I once had a friend,

But now, she’s a stranger.

Someone unknown and seems like an alien.

I can no longer touch her or see her

To hear her voice is vain

I guess she’s no longer a friend

‘coz she chose to forsake me in the end.
