Dear Best Friend
Dear Bestfriend,
I don’t know where we went wrong
Or if we “went wrong”
At all
I know that we’ve grown
Further
And further
And further
Apart
After growing and learning
Together for so long
It’s strange
Ten years ago, I wouldn’t have thought we would be in this state
But here we are
I think it's healthy
Learning to travel apart
On two separate
Yet possibly parallel strands
Instead of competing
For who gets to stay ahead
But I still feel the ghost
Of, “what could’ve been”
The icy chill
When did the falling out begin?
There are times
When I’m stuck
In the past
Moments of flooding memories
That send me back
Yet,
Life finds a way
To push us forward
Where new opportunities
Apart
Are quartered
Whether it’s in someone new
Or a passion
That I’ve yet to pursue
So let us stay
On these separate strands
And if you want
We can still hold hands
Your Friend,
Angelina Mae Wilson
About this poem
This poem is very important to me because it talk about a ten year friendship that has gone through hundreds of ups and downs. I have finally pieces together a mature version of the things I would like to say to this person. I think it’s beautiful.
