To a Lost Friend

My friend, why have you left me all behind And all alone? I thought that you and I Could be forever one but now my mind Is searching for an explanation why. The times that could have been; are they to be Forgotten? Have you really gone away With no intent to ever come back to me? Or are you simply running, now, astray? I want to tell you something; tell you why This, here, afflicts me and won't go away… But now the poet's hand is running dry; My words will fail and I will only say: I do not know what happened to cause this flight But only when you return shall I be alright.
