1. the parting gift

“hey, i remember meeting that girl,
she was a knockout,
what ever happened to her?”

well, first of all,
thanks for throwing me
on the spot,
we’re all at the table,
our faces are stuffed,
and now i have to tell the world
all of my business?
gee, how considerate.

and second of all…
…well…
…i don’t know how to answer that…
…what did happen to her?
i don’t even know
what to say:
we were that close,
and suddenly,
poof.

one night together,
it was perfect,
everything was lovely,
even the food.
but after that,
something felt off,
nothing was the same.
conversations?
hardly held them.
emotions?
i sensed few of them.
my presence?
didn’t seem to want it.

but through it all,
i was told nothing was wrong,
and maybe i’m gullible,
but i believed it,
and just assumed all was well,
but things still felt off.
just couldn’t shake it.
i didn’t do any wrong,
did i?

and then i realized
what was going on.
i followed the clues
and i found out
you really didn’t want me.
distraught,
i took out my frustration
on a keyboard,
and it only made things worse.
you said i was aggressive,
and i didn’t believe it,
but for a minute, i was,
and it only fucked things up further.

it wasn’t even about your love,
no, nothing of the sort.
you were one of my best friends
and i didn’t want to lose that,
but now it’s gone,
we haven’t spoken since,
and i’ve learned to accept it.
some friendships
just aren’t meant to be,
you have your plans
and i have mine.
i wish you the best,
and i’m glad that you're happy.
don’t want there to be hate
or anger between us,
i don’t want
to get in the way,
just know that i’m sorry
if i did you wrong,
and i’m always grateful
for the memories we shared.

but now i take my leave,
as i head to the real world
without you,
i was destined for this,
and it’s time to forget.
goodbye, old friend,
sorry to waste your time.
