Paradise Lost

For a time we exchanged lives.

Many a trait, from you derives.

Then no-one, no-one, no-one

could be you: The One.

Our secrets filled each other’s ears

spoken in a second; lasting years.

It hurts my mind remembering We

for you are now a part of Me.

 

Sometimes I wish we hadn’t solved our woes.

The saddest part to part as foes.

In my memories you’re still my best friend;

Moments show a friendship with no end.

In those snapshots we never grow a part,

Yet it is those memories that tear my heart.

Although but a fluttering butterfly kiss,

our carefree laugh is one I’ll miss.

 

As life changes so do We.

In the end we is anyone + me.

Because we changed as we got older,

so our laughs got fewer, our looks colder.

We may not make new memories together,

But our shared time will last forever.

Our contact now may be none to few.

 

I am glad I was somebody + you.

I wrote this about a very dear friend, who I miss terribly. Often those we love become a part of who we were, but not who we need to become.
