Dear friend
Dear old friend,
I miss you, I do,
I miss our calls and our random conversations
About things that don't really make sense,
But somehow they did to us.
And yes, it has made me sad and mad
That we are no longer friends.
I miss you, I do,
But it is time for a new start.
Maybe we weren't meant to be friends after all.
Yes, we had good memories,
I mean, some weren't the best,
But I hope we can move past it.
I don't think we can be friends again.
I'm sorry if you don't understand,
But the thing is, was it a real friendship?
Or was it fake?
It was like a mirror, a broken one though.
The mirror worked good and you were happy,
But then you accidentally drop it and it shattered.
You got hurt a little, physically and emotionally
Because you loved that mirror.
Yes, you can see the reflection, but it is cracked.
You don't want to mess with it
Because it is shattered.
You don't want to get more hurt than you already are,
So you don't do anything, you just let it be.
But someday you do have to grab it
And just throw it away.
Yes, it may hurt,
But not because it wasn't a good mirror,
But because it didn't work like it used to.
I know it's hard to say goodbye,
But we just have to.
