Remember

Remember the days that we laughed and played.
We were friends then and were always meant to be.
I told you everything; you were my sole confidant in everything.
I never thought the day would come when our friendship would play its last act.
Even though we are still here we seem to be so many miles apart.
Sometimes you reach out and say hello and for a moment I think you have returned. Always though you return and leave me here alone.
I have met others, and they help heal the emptiness, but I still need your friendship.
Only your friendship can heal the emptiness of where you once did reside in my heart.
What did I do to make you go away?
Why have you left me behind while you travel on?
I never thought you would leave you and I were best of friends with so much to share.
Now, you never notice if I exist and every time I see you I cry a little more.
We are family and nothing will change it.
Please come back.
Do not leave me again.
Let’s try and start again.
You be you and I’ll be me.
Let the pretending stop and the renewing begin.
You are my friend, remember me.
