Never the Same
A poem about the loss of a friendship.
I wrote the words in the video as a stand-alone poem, then one day I was playing my guitar and composed the music that just seemed to fit the mood. It was also the catalyst to write the article: Music and Poetry: The Connection
Why did I write this? I wrote this from experience. I have lost a wonderful friendship, but despite my many efforts, I have deemed that friendship gone. The fact that I couldn’t salvage the relationship makes me sad. We had fun together and I’m going to miss that.
I would love for them to see it, but as you have read, that’s probably not going to happen. I sometimes I imagine, like in a movie, that they stumble across it, maybe it goes viral and they see it. I know that they will know it is about them.
I don’t begrudge them. Are they better off? In their minds, probably. I wish them all the best, but I’ve done all that I can. Am I better off? I have to be.
