We built our friendship piece by piece,
with laughter and late-night talks,
but, I never thought we'd reach the day
when our shared path just...stopped.

I remember the good days and the bad,
a shoulder was always there to lean on,
I thought we'd be two crazy friends
growing up and still going strong.

I remember how we used to plan
our lives, growing old and grey.
It is funny how our future dreams
just sort of slipped away.

I've tried my best to fix the broken bits,
and to patch up what came undone,
but some things, once they've changed too much,
can't be joined back together as one.

And yes, it hurts like hell sometimes
to know we've drifted apart and stalled;
But, I wouldn't trade those memories,
not for anything at all.

So here's the truth, plain and simple,
as I let these words go free,
I hope you find what you've been chasing,
and that you are where you are meant to be.

I hope that your days are kind and gentle,
and that all of your dreams will come alive;
And although we're on different paths now,
I hope that you will still continue to thrive.

I find your words to be empty.
Much like collectible ornate journals
lined up on a shelf.
Stunning to behold.
Carrying the weight of so much
promise and potential,
but of no substance.
I find myself choking
on the dust between
the pages of words
you never mean.

And even as the rain falls quietly
The cold comes silently
And the time goes past midnight
I still wish to to right
By you, for giving me the gift I lost

A reason to get up and bother writing
In a world nobody would see me worth fighting
For honour, for myself, for what was us
To avoid ever needing to cuss
Even before I knew the cost

I pray you're well even on nights like this
I pray God finds you and that you persist
That if earth isn't our finale
I pray heaven is our reunion
Of 2 wayward souls


That even as the people I once called friends dissapear
That my heart knows you're near
Your value is higher than their memories
Our moments cost more than their stories
I realise now you were always the goal

And if we truly do never meet again
Whether heaven, earth or the next life
I pray our decendants become friends
And bring light where we saw strife

I pray you atleast find peace
In that galaxy you call your eyes
That the rain in the skies
Wash away what prevents you from release
