Friends
Friends
Oh, friends.
Isn’t that the best
anyone could wish for?
But where to find them?
How to connect?
How to be true
to yourself
and them?
What if
You get too close
or not close enough?
What if
you invest
only to lose?
What if
you betray
without wanting to
hurt
without intention
push away
and wish you hadn’t?
How to be true
to them
and to yourself?
How not to hurt?
How not to tear
a hole into my soul
and yours?
Oh, friend
Oh, friend
I wish I had never
dared to get close to you
I wish I could take back what we had
I hate to hurt you.
Oh, friend
I miss you
Will you ever forgive me?
