Gain a True Love - Loose a Best Friend

by Eibutsina   Sep 28, 2004


It's strange to me and hard to accept
For years you and I have grown together
Always experienced the same stages of life
And promised that we would soldier on forever…
But lately that has changed for me
As I'm sure it has changed also for you
We seem in my eyes to be growing apart
And this time I really don't know what to do…
Cause we have always had the ability
To pick each other up off the ground
I thought that strength would last forever
In that treasured friendship that we'd found…
Remember all our promises and plans
The personal jokes and uncanny obsessions
The way your smile could light up my face
In those years I was fighting depression…

Its not like I am not grateful
I don't want you think you weren't appreciated
I guess the trust, the friendship and the strength
Like everything is this materialistic world has just faded…
But I find it's always me making effort
And attempting to get our friendship on track
You never seem to reciprocate that effort
And for real its like being stabbed in the back…
Cause just the way I promised you C****
You also solemnly promised me
That our friendship would always take the first priority
No matter the dramas or how crazy our lives be…
But of late that is just not case
I feel like I come in line as second best
And this is the first time you've had me thinking
That you and I are just like the rest…

That world we built for ourselves
That brought us such a comfort and joy
Has been broken down by you as I see it
Since I settled back down with my boy…
See I think that you may be thinking
That I'm starting to live a different life
And that in a way maybe it's me you blame
For causing our friendship all this strife…
But just as I told you years ago
I tell the exact same story to my love, my man
That forever you my number one and bestest girl
And he loves you too and understands…
Just because in this life I have found my true love
Doesn't mean my life doesn't have your space
For god sake you're like my sister C****
And you're probably the one person I could never replace….

So think just for the smallest while
About how you and I used to be
And have the strength to look in my eyes
Telling me that I'm still that best friend you see…
See you know you can't do that
It's impossible because it's not the way you feel
Its over our friendship has turned to dust
I still cannot believe its real…
Know in your heart I loved you so much
And to me you will always be my best friend
I'm sorry you got jealous of me finding love
And that caused our friendship to end….

    OH my gosh that was terrific!! you blow me away with each write you have!!! Like i said before i am so sorry for you to loose someone like that..I cant imagine the pain your going through! But she dont no what she lost because to have someone write poems for her and someone who always and will always love them kinda sucks for her in this case.you cant find friends like that these days and to have a friend like you is great! You would think she would except the fact you have a man and you would think she'd be happy for you...But i think you should give up ..if you care so much about this person keep trying no matter how hard it gets..but then again if she pushes you away then its her loss not yours sunshine!! But get better i hope everything works out for the best...awsome peice like any other!! Gave ya a five,,,Much love to ya! ~Chelsey~

    That's sux eirisa..not the write, the situation. I've never had that happen to me personally, but I seen it happen to friends. All Friendships change to some degree over time. Life molds and reshapes and tests it constantly, but for it end like that has to hurt. I hope that what you feel is completely broken is only just bent a lil;)

    Nice write!
