Too Late

I'm sorry i did not extend my                                                                           
hand,                                                                                                                                      
or even once say, i understand.                        
for 
oftentimes                                                                                                                            
you were like me;                                                                                                                    
a bit cynical and hard to reach.                            
Yet still i knew,                                                                                                                
there was a lonely man                                                                                                  
with pain to hide,                                                                                                             
who longed for warmth 
in a friend.
Coldness was all i could lend.                                                                                            
Now you will never know,                                                                                                
that                                                                                                                                     
your departure plans                                                                                                         
have left a surprising 
sadness in my heart. 
Goodbye...my friend
