If I could rewind time
I would put you and I as far apart
as the east from the west
my love for you has come to an end.
no more take backsies, start over’s no try 
again’s 
our time has expired like bad milk. 
Friendships were meant to be equal 
but you took the glue 
out of our relationship
and,
somehow we are
here
where no voice is heard   
no opinion matters oh
and maybe yours no
nothing matters anymore
like two of us never existed as
one
our heart drifting farther apart…
 I 
never hated you    
I always planned to love you  
as a matter of fact my dear friend,
I’m praying for you.

I saw an old friend today and I didn’t even realize how distant we were until that moment. Growing up we were inseparable but today we could barely find anything to talk about. It helped me to understand how fragile relationships can be. This poem is the perfect example of the evanescent quality of friendships. We drifted apart and we both blamed each other. Maybe we’ll find a common ground or maybe it’s best we go our separate ways. But like the poem’s end, I will always wish her well.
