Broken

It hurts to see, those that you once held close
Move on and let loose
Of all the twisted ties that held us together.
That I hoped would stay forever

I don’t expect them to wait
And never could I be able to hate
But a hello would have been kind
Because suddenly 3 years fizzled into nothing

They moved on,
Maybe even forgot the giggles and piggy back rides
That once brought us joy
Countless hours of bickering and mockery
And all that held us together slowly broke down.
The fire that burnt yellow and bright,
Slowly started to flicker in the absence of my sight
Leaving ashes, to remind me of what I had lost.

Life taught me one thing
To never hold on too tight
Just enough to survive
But not tight enough to build bonds
Because in the end all that’s left is anger and sorrow
Slowly rewriting the memories, leaving me hollow.

Many friends, couples grow apart, often with one party feeling more hurt than the other, and from reading the above I take it that you are the "other"
I've never stood in those shoes, never want to, hopefully never will.
Good morning Julie Sykes, hope all is well in the UAE

All is good. Thanks for asking :)

Friends define us by the shared experiences - but when "life happens" and we pause the sharing for a bit - well, ALL our lives move on and what once was isn't as relative as it was. Both they and we now have differences that aren't as insignificant as we think. We grew apart without knowing it until we DO recognize it.

This is very true as it didn’t strike me, until quite recently how much had changed And it took me a while to accept that.

And that understanding IS a life experience all its own.
