Why Did It Have To End

The following poem is fictional
And does not depict  any real persons 
Or events;  please enjoy responsibly.


As I walked out my front door
I ran into an old friend who was
Crying

 When I asked him why those 
teardrops filled his eyes
He looked at me and said

I thought I had the greatest
Love that had ever been
but I found out this morning
That she wants it to end

I stood there watching my 
friend sob
 Not knowing what to say
I felt a sudden urge to turn
And walk away

I ignored the urge and stayed
Right there with my broken hearted
Friend

I said please don't let this
Lost love turn your heart 
 To stone it's true love is
Wonderful but so is time alone
 We talked for a while longer
And both went on our way

On my way back home tonight
I ran into an old friend who
Was crying

I asked her why those teardrops
Filled her eyes
She said I thought I had the
Greatest love that had ever been
Until I woke up this morning
And told him it had to end
