A year we were together,
a year of trials, troubled,
a year we did no talking
and the troubles thereby doubled.
Courage bade us speak once more
and a friendship seemed to mend,
but courage only goes so far
when the friendship's at an end.
And though we do not talk nor speak,
nor acknowledge one another
I can think of no better year
and of a friend, no other.

Thank you for the fresh entry. Though it was a bit choppy here and there, overall this was a remarkable entry. The rhyming was lovely and the emotions were so strong and personal... I truly enjoyed this. Thank you again for entering and good luck.
