PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I miss my childhood best friend.

I wish things hadn’t changed

so much between us.

I wish we never grew up

and became such different people

because I miss what we had.

Never perfect,

but we used to be so close

and do everything together.  

I wish more than anything else

I could been have been there for you

during the hard times.

I wish you shared with me

what you were going through,

I could have helped you.

In the end, I helped you

but you’ve never forgiven me

for what I did to get you out.  

I can’t help blaming myself

for letting things get

as far as they did.

I should have read the signs

and stopped you before

it was too late.

But I wasn’t the friend

I should have been.

I hope one day you’ll see

that I did my best

even though I’ll never have

my best friend back.
