I tried my hardest
to keep you as a friend
I have to say though
you didn't.

We went from best friends
to friends
to acquaintances
to people who are cordial in public.

We did not have a falling out.
It was a straight down
dive from friendship
to strangers

I am sad
truthfully
but it seems
you are just apathetic.

We can't talk
because of tension.
You won't hang out
because of me.

I would blame myself
but that isn't fair to me.
I would blame you
but that isn't fair to you.

No matter how much
I want to blame you
I just can't
Because that's not me.

But apparently you've
forgotten that about me.
That I am nice.
That I do care.

It took just that little bit
to break our friendship apart.
I guess the friendship
couldn't have been too strong then.

Do you blame me?
To help yourself feel better?
I don't know if you would.
You've changed.

But I can't dwell on it
I have to move on
so I can feel better.
So I can be happy.

I wish you happiness.
I wish you joy.
I wish you life.
I wish you love.
