How do you get a friend to know
How much he means to you?
How to get him to understand
My loss makes me so blue.

We use to talk and talk some more.
Now he is not around.
For me to share my secret thoughts,
Emptiness I’ve found.

I told him that it was his loss.
If he went away.
But I’m the one who is so sad.
And I want to say.

Doesn’t he see just what we had?
A friendship long and dear.
We had some times that made us mad.
I’m a pain in the rear.

I always nag him til he blows.
I know I am a pest.
I never let him off the hook.
I never let him rest.

My friend is stubborn and is set
In his ways so firm.
He doesn’t want to give an inch.
Will I ever learn?

What it will take to make him see
I miss him very much.
To have him treat my like a friend,
My heart he’d really touch.

I know these feelings well!  Hang in there, he'll be back if he was really a friend!  Thanks for sharing these deep thoughts.

It is so nice of you to respond to so many people. It makes us feel wanted when others read and reply.

A well-thought out poem, Youngster.  It sounds like there is more to this story than meets the eye.
