Almost a
decade has gone by
In the past
7 years so many things have changed.
The air, the
color of my hair;
Maybe even
your name.
I don’t know
what you think,
Nor do I
know how you’d feel
About
everything that’s happened.
You deserve
some explanation;
Nothing
comes to mind.
There is
none deserving of your empathy
Except for
maybe life is tough.
There was
that opportunity
To get to
know someone amazing,
Someone
intelligent,
Someone
sensitive,
Someone
unique.
I’m sorry I
let you down.
I’m sorry I
let me down.
I no longer
have your number,
Maybe I’d be
afraid to call anyways.
I suppose
you deserve something,
I know I
deserve something
But of
course things never seem to happen that way.
You were my
friend
And I
remember you.
Maybe I don’t
know who you are.
You probably
don’t even know who I am.
You had a
kind voice.
Somewhat
messy black hair;
You were older than me.
I think I
had tie dye pants on the day I met you...
I bleached them
myself.
"You're not from around here- dressed like that."
“No I’m not
from around here.”
“Well
neither am I.”
I want you
to know I’m sorry
I know I let
you down.
I let a lot
of people down, every day.
I don’t know
what I’d say to you
Even if I
could say anything at all.
Memories
escape and I catch my breath
In remembrance
of what little about you I once knew,
Now I don’t know anything at all.
