It was once a beautiful thing
it grew from the unknown
and from the ashes it rose
like a flame into the spring air
Texts were exchanged
coffee meetings arranged
family visits organized
dinners were had
Laughter was always present
trials and tribulations discussed
long time memories gone by shared,
hope was always there
Hugs were given
gifts were bought and given
precious memories were created
and today that's all, they were
We waited for miracles
sending resumes here and there
typos were corrected and formatting re-framed
and counsel given to become the best
A miracle happened after so many tries
an opportunity was given and taken
assurances were given that work will get done
anything for this one opportunity
People loved you but I loved you the most,
you changed so much, I hardly recognized you
that woman I once knew, it has disappeared
you're needy and cry all the time
Our friendship was torn to pieces
all scattered here and there
intertwined words were said
you want to be right and so do I
but for sure one of us, isn't
In attempt to mend the broken pieces
another coffee was had, tears shed, hugs given
but the magic ended when guilt was introduced
and blame put at the for front of this magical moment
"If I succeed you will be the reason" you said, and then
"If I failed it will be your fault" those were the spoken words
and like a dagger, they went straight to my heart
But it is OK, and today I bid you good-bye
with tears shed and true relief in my heart
because the burden is no longer mine
but yours and only yours, alone
