Reconcile

There is no saying sorry for what we expressed, 
Yet the dark cloaking cloudbank of sorrow 
Pervades the unrest verbalised for the best, 
Said to build new beginnings tomorrow. 

So know that intentions were honest, humane, 
No matter how forthright you find us, 
We strive to explain that as friends we remain 
And the past we should usher behind us. 

After all the close years, realise that we miss 
Your bright laughter and wit that shone through, 
So in light of all this it will grieve us to kiss 
Farewell to a friend such as you. 

The door remains open and we remain here 
Until time and the grave can hold sway, 
Reconcile with no fear, for we still hold you dear 
And might thus meet each other half way.
