I Miss You

I miss you.
It’s been weeks since I heard your voice,
Too long since I felt your hand on my back.
I’m starting to forget your smile.

I know it must be this way.
We simply cannot be “us” anymore.
We cannot share the laughs and fun.
It’s best for all involved.

You’re my sweet friend.
Through hell and back we’ve been together.
I know I can rely on you through anything,
But now it’s all in the past.

It was nothing more.
Nothing more than friendship, tried and true.
We never let ourselves feel our love.
Now it’s all over and gone.

I love you.
Please, never forget our times together.
I will always hold you warmly in my heart.
I will love you forever.
