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.
