Saying Goodbye to a Friend

Do you remember how things were?

Before things between us felt like a blur?

Do you remember how it felt?

I beg of you to go back, on my knees, I've knelt.

You looked at me and I felt seen,

Our love was chaste, pure, and clean.

I miss so dearly the warmth you gave.

Only our friendship is what I truly crave.

I'll never again have that kind of friend,

You must've just been playing pretend.

But it was real to me,

All 27 versions you see.

Everyone left me, including you,

It's okay I would've left me too.

To me, you are gone, now and forever more.

But I still hope I run into you at the store.
