Twenty-Four Years

To my best friend

Friends forever and now I don't know you
We were inseparable and now I'm invisible
Is it me?   Did I do something wrong?
You promise. You apologize. You repeat.
I drive hundreds of miles just to see you smile.
You say sorry you can't drive to me...next time...next time..
You put your head on my chest at night and now I'm on top of the world...
Now you pretend it never happened.
I try to hold on....but you disappeared..
And we've been friends for twenty-four years.
After all this time I only care about you being happy.
Four years ago you told me you felt the same way..
...but you took it back and broke my heart the very next day.
I lost an important person in my life..
Please...I can't lose you...
As long as you are happy.
You are my soulmate and the girl I have always loved...
Even if it means waiting until the end of time for you...

Now I'm saying sorry...what did I do?

You are my best friend...
....and I'll always love you...
