Regret

I have finally realised something, the reason that I've been on edge for the past couple weeks. 
When I'm around you it hurts, not physically but emotionally, memories of joy turned to sorrow 
slapping me in the face at every oppertunity, the memories were of times of happiness and peace and I 
yearned for those occasions despite not having any hope to guide me, no motivation to drive
me and as a result I thought that I needed you, I became obsessed and the memories seized control
and dominated my mind, everything was devoted to those moments lost in time. And after a while
something short-circuited and as my thoughts cleared I realised, that it was just an illusion,  I don't need 
anything, I don't need anything but to appreciate what I have and not to seek anything that I do not
need. I am content were I stand on the spectrum of life and I will not try to change that, I prefer to be alone
and push myself as far as I can go. I am not depressed but more just self proclaimely excluded, I don't want this to 
affect anyone else and I keep it to myself, which is were I want it to stay. You have a long prosperous life ahead of 
you, so don't throw it away, make the most of it.

Memories

I think I finally know something
I had what seemed to last
One false move and it was in the past
I hoped for its thrill
But believed in it. But now belief burns
Off with the descent of the hill
Which is life
Starting to see some changes in everything 
At the time it was the only thing that mattered 
Then everything shattered
But I move on slowly repairing, recovering changing developing
Day in day out week after week 
With each passing year I mature
But I’m also not so sure 
If in this something is not right
If I went out of the frying pan into the fire
Or if my life is soaring higher
Was I right?
Or have I plunged myself into a terrible plight
 Those memories are corrosive and are burdening me like a sack of weights
I am chary to remember them but there is no escape
Regardless I try, futilely I attempt, to forget
But maybe that’s not the way its supposed to be
Maybe im meant to cherish those moments lost in time

Your Friendship

It keeps me going when times seem impossible when all hope is lost, I think of all  
of the time we spent together, all of our wins we won together all of our loses we lost together, in the end we went our separate ways, but after years and years of waiting we were finally reunited and the void of separation began to fill, and we renewed that friendship that we cared about so much and it bloomed into the bright beautiful flower that we planted all of those years ago and I want to make it last I want it to live a long and plentiful life I don't want it to survive I want it to live to prosper, to rejoice in the wondrous place that is our hearts, and in the end when it is all about to end, I can look back on those memories of those times where we lived in harmony and peace and for once, be truly happy.
