A Letter To A Friend

I wish you well, my friend.

I think too much, sleep too little

Spent hours hurting myself again and again

I’m sure it must have been hard for you

But I can’t lie, this has been hard for me too

Take it as if I should be the one to be blamed

Take it as if I took the first step to the door

Curse at me, cut me out of this cruel game

Nothing can save us anymore

We had it all, to the envy of the world

Built this out of nothing, thought we had everything

But in time we have come to learn

That whatever we had was only temporary

For with our own hands, we pour the gasoline 

Bit by bit, you and I taking turns 

and with such might, such bridge we dared to burn 

Life is no coincidence

When we met that very first day, 

At that very first time

I’m still ever so thankful for that,

For your glitter, your shine, 

For every light you’ve brought into my life

In this unexpected farewell,

Let us remember how we far we’ve come since we began 

Let us not be in sorrow for it does not do to dwell

I guess the time has come to witness the start to the end,

With this last letter I leave, I wish you well, friend.

the pain of ending a friendship is something i can't fathom but when trying to go to the core of it there will always be a reason.
