The weight of regret
was heavy on his voice
when he spoke.
His words were choked
by fear as he attempted
to piece together the torn
fabrics of our once upon
a time friendship.
The same friendship
he had ripped to shreds
and destroyed.
A rain storm of tears
flooded from his eyes,
gushing free from the
damn that had been holding
them back.
Ocean's deep was his sorrow
as he begged forgiveness,
treading water. Waiting for
me to throw him a line,
to rescue him from drowning
in his apology.
His voice sliced through
the anger and distance that
had separated us.
The gap between who was right
and who was wrong so many
dark moons ago, was suddenly
bridged by the light of
the here and now.
My heart instantly opened
it's petals to him in
forgiveness releasing the
anguish I had bottled up.
I let love flow freely
through my veins, giving
it back to my once again
bestest friend, knowing
his return to me meant one
thing...
he finally got his ticket,
he came back to me so
he could die knowing he
was loved.
