Dear Friend
I miss you.
I miss the good times we had
I miss the feeling of security I had around you
I miss naively believing that our friendship would last forever
I miss the endless sleepovers
I miss spending hours on the telephone talking about nothing
I miss the days when you would call me your best friend, even though I didn’t deserve it
Dear Friend
Sometimes I wish I had done things differently
That I was ideal friend
That I hadn’t said some of the things I said
That I had treated you better
That I hadn’t let you slip through my fingertips
That I called more often
That I listened to what you had to say, instead of only caring about my own problems
Dear Friend
I just want you to know that I’m sorry
I’m sorry for the things I said to you
I’m sorry for any pain I caused you
I’m sorry if I ever made you cry
I’m sorry that I didn’t call when I said I would
I’m sorry that nowadays we treat each other like strangers
I’m sorry that I knew you then and not now
This poem started out as being addressed to one person in particular, but ended up being directed towards several people who I have hurt in the past because of my Social Anxiety Disorder and my adolescent bullshit. Even though some people are no longer actively in my life, I still miss them and care about them.
