The Loss of A Best Friend

Without You

Without you,

The first realization hit me.

You were no longer mine,

I no longer yours.

We were split,

and continued on our ways.

Me trying to hide my broken heart,

You doing Lord knows what.

You were fine,

You were cheerful.

You made no attempt to try to take me back.

The split had caused us to make new friends,

Yours filled you with content,

Mine, almost just a regret.

How had I replaced you,

With those who weren't you?

How did I come to think,

That they could be you?

How did I find it possible,

To think I had found others better than you?

How did you do the same?

Life just wasn't the same,

There seemes to be a whole,

Right were you used to stand,

Always by my side.

All those times we had talked,

Sharing secrets in the dark.

All those moments shared,

Never to be replaced.

All those magic moments,

Spent together as a pair,

Were lost to the wind,

Never to be seen again.

My new friends that I had found,

Couldn't heal my heart.

They just weren't the same as you,

You whom I had lost.

Yes, I tried to stand tall,

Hide my grief behind a smile.

But each day I saw you, made small talk with you,

Ripped open new wounds.

Over time my heart hardened,

And the pain became less.

Although I knew, or thought,

That there would be no one like you.
