Reality

I guess I didn't realize how much of an 
impact you made in my life.
How your laugh was more contagious than
a yawn, or how your hugs felt like coming 
home to your warm bed from a long road
trip.
I guess I didn't realize how incredibly
strong our friendship was even from two
different worlds.
I guess I didn't realize being different 
and from those distant worlds, our perfect
life would tear apart. 
The one where you're by my side
and I'm by yours.
Like it always had been.
I guess I just now realized you helped me
grow.
I hope you finally realize that I'm sorry and
that I tried.
I tried.
I really tried.
