You and I have shared a handful
Through thick and thin, we managed to be cool
We never were in a serious fight
We opted to keep everything light
You thanked me a hundred times
For being a friend who understands
Though we have so many great differences
You submitted to many of my influences
I asserted you weren’t my best friend
For I know very well best friends’ tragic end
But you insisted and I accepted
Now certain things happened that cannot be mended
Dear friend, you offend me unknowingly habitually
And oh! how hard I try to respond to you forgivingly
For you, I tried to be giving and willing
But in the end, I find myself losing
Please don’t vex, you are always my dear friend
But I need to start finding pieces of myself
I hope you understand if from you I keep a little distance
Let me find and understand myself; let me dance…
