I was in awe of your overly present,
Bubbly,
Natural aura.
So it’s just natural
That as I grew up,
I grew more in love with you.
I watched you like an infant
With adoring eyes.
I followed you around like a toddle
Emulating your every step.
I mimicked your thoughts and actions
Like an annoying adolescent,
Not because I didn’t know any better.
But because to me there was no better.
And lastly,
I fell in love,
Head over heals in love with you as a teenager
Because of your compassion,
Generosity,
And honesty.
And now as a grown adult,
Who should have known better than to let you go that easily,
I feel cheated,
And a little lost since our relationship fizzled out.
In a moment of passion.
A clash of two strong wills
I lost you.
A dear, dear friend.
And unlike all my pervious messy relationships
Our friendship ended before I was ready to really let go.
And the sad reality is....
Because I loved you so much
I had you under a microscope
And at the first signs of trouble
I treated you so commonly.
Cuting ties to quickly,
while acting unfazed.
Now is that any way to treat the girl
Who taught me to chase rainbows?
Dance in rainstorms
Laugh at adversity
And cry for nobody.
Who introduced me to complete honesty.
Two way friendship.
And a world full of color beyond my minds grasp.
A world I’ve rightfully claimed as mine ever since.
Yet despite all this,
Stupidly I traded that all in for a chance to be right.
I wish someone truly explained to me
The hefty price, be right would cost me.
For given the chance to do-over
I’d gladly be wrong every time
If I could have your friendship again.
“Twisted Elegance”
Moral of this poem, never act hastily in a moment of anger, and never take a good friend for granted.
