My Friend Is Lost, My Heart Is Broke

in a room I lay with you invading my thoughts
I cant seem to get you out of my head
I know I should let go and move forward
But It eats me to think I lost my only friend.

I cant bring myself to cry
nor do I know how to get closure
I don't want to let go of you
but reality is, it has been over.

I didn't care if you hurt me
because at least you were there
pride no longer a factor
and I know you really cared.

It became a chore to stay away
that is what u needed at the time
I tried to be there regardless	
because I was the happiest when at ur side.

I never could grasp the reason
or what I did so wrong to you	
I felt like I understood and It was okay
but at the end of the day, it wasn't  i u'd choose.

Understanding on a verbal contract	
but I wasn't the one who left	
I get why you did the things you did
but u didn't get,  for you i wanted only the best.

well, now I am here and you there
as I have come to peace with whats real	
I know I have to be at a distance for now
need time for my heart to heal	

I am still your friend, that won't ever change
but I have to go on with my life 	
you told me from the beginning but I chose not to listen
and I can say that with you I honestly tried.

tried to love and never judge
although things made me feel like I wasn't good enough	
Maybe I was to deep into my heart
and I was mistaken our arrangement 
     for something it never was………

my young friend. this is all part of growing up. and this will teach you how to deal with greater losses. the loss of a loved one, the loss of a lover, the loss of a pet. these things happen because they are beyond our control. and we have to be prepaired to handle each loss with out loseing control of our selves. i was deeply touched by your confession of truth. and it was so beautifully expressed. yours John Henry Loving III
