I'll never give up.

Forever I've crushed our friendship under words of hate.
Though you know that I did not mean what I said,
Those words are still bitter to taste.
The blame I laid was unfounded,
This I know is true.
And I know now in myself,
The blame lies with me not you.
A space now pushed between us both,
Things will never be quite the same.
For though our positions are back where we were,
Things are irrevocably changed.

Yet in your eyes I still see hope,
A glimpse of what once was there.
My friend still buried beneath the grief,
Of the loss of a person most rare.
And in your eyes I find my hope ,
A reason to carry on.
For no matter how you deny it,
I know your not completely gone.

There are moments when your true self shines through,
Moments when I see that elf,
Though I know you always give hope to others,
And keep all of none for yourself.
