A Friend

I told myself that i wouldn't fall again,
but this time i fell for a friend,
I thought that hanging out could of brought us together,
but now it feels like i lost you forever,
at least now i can say that I've been through it all,
for some reason the more i stand the more i fall,
even though these lonely nights feel like they are getting longer,
I view them as bumps on the road that are making me stronger,
for a while loneliness i use to fear,
but i have learned that life is like murky water once it settles, 
everything becomes clear,

It's always dangerous to fall for a friend isn't it? You can lose a precious friendship. Hope it turns out well for you Jayson. Nice write!
