friendship is not eternal.
friends--even the best of ones--
come and go with the seasons.
this, it seemed, the case with you.
fights, long periods of silent treatment,
grudges held for months
but don't hardships
make our bond ever stronger?
don't obstacles of the greatest kinds
give us promises?

be my friend again.

the tears will fall with silence
on the cold wood floor.
unnoticed.
unwanted.
why do we even try?
if friendship is so hard
why not just give up?
because there is promise of bonds
and even though
we might not make it through the fights
we can still try.

be my friend again.

   the secrets we told
each-other
the hopes we shared
together
the dreams I confided
in you
and you
in me.
were they all
for nothing?

be my friend again.
