What is friendship if people just pass you by?

I know I can't ask 'you' because I'm not sure if I am one you can call a friend.

I thought time and distance just separated us, and I completely understood the challenge.

Yet you made me feel that nothing would change.

Did I bore you? Did I do something to make you feel I'm out of reach?

Physical distance is tolerable, but emotional distance is different.

Why am I looking out for you, even if I know you're not looking after me?

There are times that I remember you and the conversations we had way back when we're close.

I almost treat you like a sibling, I thought I could totally get you, as you understood me.

Our difference and invalidated emotions, I guess it really didn't matter.

Maybe you're just fed up with me, I'm not so sure anymore.

What is the connection if you're totally disconnected from me?

Everytime I hear your name, I don't know why it pains me,

It pains me because I know I miss you, but I can't tell you because we drifted.

And writing you a poem is the only thing I could do for now.
