Your face fills me with memories
And regrets
I see your smile and wonder
Why was it never that with me?
I don't know you anymore
Your ailments and struggles
I understood
But your thought process and drinking
I never could
You're half way across the world
And that's how it feels inside
Even when you come back
I don't think much will change
Your rain has drown me out
The man I once knew you as
Has all but disappeared
If we met face to face today
I don't even think I'd see you there
I still wonder about what it would have been like
If things were different
Who would we be?
I don't think we would have done one another
Any good
I tried
We both failed
I'm tired of trying, of missing you
And it seems to you my words have grown stale
I miss your laughter
All the late night calls
I miss going out with you and just
Being free
You saved me
I'm sorry I never did the same for you
I tried and tired and tried again
I loved you and you left
Why did it end?
I don't know your purpose in my life
It feels like I've od-ed when I think of us
I remember holding you as you cried
And my heart breaks when I cry myself
To sleep over you
You will never see the tears
Or understand the grief
But I hope some time when we run into each other again
You smile at me, no matter how brief
Author notes
About an old friend...
I've had writer's block lately and this was the best I could do. It sucks. It doesn't capture it as I wanted it to be captured. I'll have to work on it.
Please tell me what you think

"If we met face to face today

A lot of sadness was written into this. Too much, it seems.
Reading it, I, as I'm sure with a lot of people, can relate to that feeling of loss and wondering.
But with time comes explanation.
