We were once friends
but we had a falling out
Over what
I can't remember


Take it all away
the feeling of regret
be my friend again
forgive and forget


I have sent you
many e-mails
I have tried to
friend you
on various websites


Take it all away
the feeling of regret
be my friend again
forgive and forget


it is like your
trying to avoid me
Did I do something
so bad for this
reaction


Take it all away
the feeling of regret
be my friend again
forgive and forget


I have said I am
sorry for whatever
it was I did
for this behavior


So, please
Take it all away
the feeling of regret
be my friend again
forgive and forget

I have found that it is easier to forgive and forget than to hold resentment and anger...a beautiful heartfelt poem...I hope it turns out the way you need...*BIG HUGS*

*may our dreams ever be magical*

Nice writing...I was thinking the other night how much I miss some of my past friends, some that moved away, some that disappeared and a few that passed away and I realized this is just the way life is...friends come and go...its up to us to find new ones...James

Dear Julie, it hurts to lose a friend, not knowing what made them reject you, but you can love and remember them quietly, so your pain will be bearable.

Your poem is very poignant and compassionate.

Oh my! I turly understand this one. This happened to me about 4 years ago, I think it was. My friend and I talked just about everyday, long distance. Then, all of a sudden she had a blowup. To this day, I don't understand why she got so mad and ended our friendship. I think about her often. But, I no longer try to figure it out. It just doesn't make sense. I finally came to the conclusion that, she must not have been a TRUE friend in the first place. A real true friend won't treat you that way. I wish you the best of luck!

Thank you for your comments. It has almost been a week since I tried to get back in touch and still nothing. I guess my efforts are for not! At least I tried though.
