Time Heals? A Lesson to Learn About Best Friends

Being best friends, you would think it would last
but fifteen years seemed to go by so fast.
New friends, they separated our bond,
now I wish we could still correspond.

I don't want to force something that would never work,
my current lack of friends I wish I could shirk;
but every day I think about you,
and all of the things that we did and didn't go through.

I wish that we could still be friends,
and prove that love and friendship always transcends
every hardship and every trial,
and prove to myself that I still can smile.

The truth is that I don't think we will ever go back;
even if we again become friends we always will lack
that closeness that comes from knowing everything,
the year and more we have already lost always will sting.

So a message to others who are more fortunate than me.
If you have a best friend please listen to my plea:
Don't take them for granted and never forget,
if you lose that person, time will never heal THAT regret.
