its been a long time
since i've seen you
and perhaps thats
for the best
it feels like
forever ago
when we would
lay in bed
laughing
over something
stupid i had said
perhaps you laughed
out of pity
some extreme
sense of kindness
but i doubt it
it was never
really you
to be kind
anyway

the past
is an amazing thing
and memories
linger long after
feelings fade
perhaps that is
a blessing
you were never
one for sentiment
anyway

and i admired you for it
i saw things in you
you never did
and never will
but perhaps that is
for the best
you may die
and i might too
probably first
and to think
i may never
get a chance
to see your face
with some feeling
instead of just memory
is hard to swallow
but perhaps that is
for the best
you were never good
with goodbyes
anyway
