In friendship's realm we once did soar
A bond we cherished strong and pure
But words unspoken love unsought
In silence lines of fate were drawn.
My heart it spoke in whispers low
Of feelings that I could not show
Yet in my haste I failed to see
The discomfort this caused to thee
In retrospect I now discern
The pain my silence seemed to churn
Competing spirits marred the fun
When all I sought was to be one
For that dear friend I take the blame
I know I'm not the same, the same
With lessons learned I strive to mend
In hopes that our paths may yet blend
So let this verse a pledge convey
To be a friend in a gentler way
With time and growth perhaps you'll find
A mended bond, a heart unbind.
