A Broken Friendship

I know I broke your heart

And in the end I also broke mine

I healed my heart

I hope you healed yours

In time I think that you have

I know that things can never be the same

I know all the blame rests on my shoulders

My stupidity and loneliness

Though now I do not ask you to take me back

I only want your friendship

Like we once had so long ago

Before this whole mess I caused

I'm sorry

Not for your heart, for I know its healed

Not for the distance, for I cannot move

But for the loss of a friend

 

I suppose I cannot force you to make a decision

Do what you may, it's out of my hands

Its your life, so you make the decisions

I know you hate it when people tell you what to do

So whatever happens, happens

I throw up my hands

I brandish my white flag, I surrender

I just hope you know that I will miss you

Your friendship and you being you

But that's all past, I cannot change it, nor can you

Over time I will forget and none of this will ever matter

Will I regret it? I cannot say

Will you regret it? I do not know

Though I do know that I will never again

Ask you to be my friend
