You told me we’d always be friends Out of the blue our friendship ends I was your ‘forever friend’ - you told me so Now you simply don’t want to know Thought you the one on who I could rely A comforting shoulder when I wanted to cry A shining beacon that brought me light Our friendship was a pure delight You vanished, didn’t say a word Now all my questions go unheard No reply I need so much to know why How could you not have said goodbye! A tear I shed as I think of you tonight Of all that was so happy and bright I love you still more than you could know I am desolate that I cannot tell you so Soul mate and friend we were one Linked in a bond that could not be undone Yet here I sit the bond broken My heart aches, my pain unspoken Jan Allison & Shane Cooper Collaboration 23rd January 2014

A great poem by you both... friends once but strangers hence... how suddenly relationships change and all that remain are broken promises... feel with you. #7; Love, nad!

I guess we have all experienced it at some time in our lives Nadiya - it is hard to deal with in childhood but also as adults:-) Hugs Jan xx

Hi sweet Jan..I read in comments re your mum ..I ll keep her in my prayers dear.I love your collab. Sometimes friendships end for a reason ,othertimes there was no friendship at all,at times friendships change cuz of this crazy busy life..But all this make us appreciate the few who are so true even more.Great collab !

Well done to both of you! You write as one! It is hard trying to understand why a friendship suddenly fades into oblivion. I am sure there must be reasonable answers somewhere! hugs // paul

I am sure we can all relate to this write Paul especially in childhood but in adulthood it is more difficult to come to terms with:-( hugs Jan xx
