Letter to a Friend

Letter to a Friend

Hello friend – 

I thought I would write and see how you have been,

                We no longer see one another, 
nor do we talk and 
I doubt we will again.

I’ve thought long and hard about why we parted ways so long ago,

                I truly understand that it was both our time to shift – time to part, 
time to go.

I have faults too, and I know that you saw deep within –

misunderstood things between you and me

                Words that were said, 
even the ones that were not spoken, 
to bring us where 
we seem to be.

The parts I am responsible for – 

I ask forgiveness in our demise  I am sorry for all of them,

                We may never resolve the issues, 
the pain, and destruction of the friendship – 
the end.

There were good days – 

oh how they were good – 
but the bad times somehow 
became more present,

                I think on the good times and also the bad – at times I’m sure we both feel it 
and we resent.

Fly high my old friend – 

reach your dreams – 
fuel your hopes and most of all 
release the past,

                May you find kindness, joy and forgiveness – 
may your new friendships 
be ones to last.

I hope your life is full of joy, love, peace 

and most of all harmony and forgiveness 
in the heart,

                I know that our season has passed – 
our time together now must be 
one of reflection in part.

I say a final goodbye to what might have been – 
we really had a great season after all,

                Hold your head high – 
I have released you and 
hold nothing of the past 
to cause your fall.

This letter is to you 
my old friend –

                May you have a very blessed life – 
to the very end.
