Not Ashamed

The accepting goodbye to a very old friend.

I'm not ashamed to say that you were once my friend 

I'm not ashamed to admit that I treasured you 

No matter how much time that I had to wait 

There was innocence in the madness 

Most of it was bad but there was some good in it too 

There was music in your voice 

A serious meaning to your laughter 

I knew that it would never last 

But it meant a lot more than what it looks like 

So what? we were not together 

I don't lie and say we were 

But to say it was only friendship is just absurd 

I don't think we'll ever see each other again 

I think we are separated now into forever 

I don't think that's really such a bad thing 

When you think about each piece of this big puzzle 

When you think how it all looks when you put it all together 

Just don't blame me if I still think about you sometimes 

The music in your voice and just the fact that we were friends 

Feelings like those of which we shared, they never truly end...

...But I accepted long ago, the truth 

I accepted long ago, our fate 

So, thanks for being my friend 

Because I am not ashamed.

very nice great poem concerning the image and the words picking. i just dont know why you call the poem, not ashamed, i dont see any link between the title and the poem unless there is a reason for the separation you havent said. i really enjoyed reading this poem. thank you

the first five lines and then this just gets even more into the lines of your words...and them ends relatively with this passage:

Because I am not ashamed.
