The Friend You Lost

Forgive
accept
let go
empathise…
There have always been two sides
relax the pain
loosen the hurt
You’re not the only one
you’re not the only one
who couldn’t cope

Forgive
find common ground
smile
at peace…
Of course, the other burned too
imagine what they went through
Moved too fast?
awful timing?
Yes
You weren’t the only one
you weren’t the only one
struggling to move on

Don’t drown these precious things in anger
don’t lose sight
of all that was beautiful
such indelible jokes
such love and laughter
Forgive
accept
let go
smile at the friend you kept…

Thanks for reading.
