Lost Loves

When people speak of people who have ruined them

Usually they mention the "love of their lives"

The soulmate

The boyfriend or girlfriend

Or even spouse

Who left them for someone else

Or simply because they weren't good enough

That is a description of a lost love

But it can be so much more than that

A friend who ditches you

Because you aren't good enough for them

Not pretty enough

Not smart enough

Or maybe you're too smart

Not exciting enough

Not fun enough

Or maybe you're too fun

And they become jealous

All of these are reasons for a lost friendship

I've lost many

Both boys and girls

Who were once my friends

Until they weren't anymore

And I never knew why

Sometimes they would disappear

And never come back

Other times it was a gradual pulling away

And I was left alone on the side

Watching as they laughed with another

Called another their "best friend"

And it was as if I no longer existed.

People become desperate

Clinging to their friends as if they will leave them as well

It is because of this that more people leave

And it was all because of the first few

Who left them standing

In the rain

All alone.

Others become walled off from the world

They don't trust others for anything

Though deep down inside they are begging

For anyone to pay attention to them

We all need friends

But for some

It is almost impossible

To find one.

But the truth is

Even after everything

It is so much better

To have loved and lost

Than to have never loved

Anyone at all.

This is hard for some people

And that is why

We must reach out to each other

Support each other

Stay with each other

Because we need each other

And someone around you

Needs you as well.
