Tribute to a Friend

Yesterday marked the end of our friendship
Tears fell as your harsh words rained down
Heart bled as the daggers of comments plunged in
The accuracy haunts me, but questions left unanswered

Our conversation on auto-replay mode
Still resonates through my mind
Normalcy escaped me
The workday passed by in a trance for me

I saw the ugly truth
Weaknesses make me human
But my ego distorts the perception of reality
Thanks for being in my life once

You were a pillar of strength and encouragement
When my confidence failed me
I regret that I didn't reciprocate
By understanding you more

It's all too late now
I mourn the times of old when life was simpler
Perhaps this is my retribution
For the way I treated you

I lost grasp of the situation
Simply because you spoilt me in the past by giving in to my whims
In my heart, I thank you for letting me share your life before
You've made a difference even if I didn't notice it in the past

You're special, you know.
If i could live it all over again, and choose what would happen,
I'd still choose to meet you.
We both know how much you've influenced me.

Though it's the end of the road for us
I'll look back with fond memories
Thanks for teaching me to stand on my own two feet
All the best
