Do you feel this way?

I see the old pictures

The fun time we spent together

They are all gone

And I am not saying I need you or I want you

Yet, I cannot fathom what set us apart

I want to apologise even for the mistakes I didn’t make

Just for the laughter that I can have with you again

I felt like we were friends for life

But our friendship was uncertain like life

My mind tells me that the person in the image in not her

And tells me the person in the image is not me

“Yet I feel close to both of them”

I can’t even tell you I miss you

Because that would be shame

I would be called weak and without self-respect

But I know I was friends with you just for being friends

Spend time with you just for spending time with you

And loved you just for loving you

It was not the aim to fulfill something I lacked

But soley to have a friend

Do you feel this way?
