Knowing a Strangers Heart.

the consequence of adolescence ripped apart what we had cherished for years.
we walked our separate ways
as the memories scattered on the paths we both chose.
days
weeks
months
they all make up years.
apart, separate. distance and all things new. 
we are making our way without you and that is what causes confusion.
you held us together when parents yelled, grades failed and boys betrayed us.
you helped us piece back the broken
knowing our souls like your own identity.
together we fought, side by side and we defined you.
we foolishly abandoned our tie we build in your safety and left.
& as i glided away i broke my heart as well as the bond you loved to keep.

birds anxiously waiting freedom of flight, we left the nest.
simoltaniously i watched this part of me deteriate and become a mysterious person.
i see them now, and ever since we abandoned you, we are no more.
we are broken because we brayed the you: friendship.
commonalities and memories
the part of that heart i will always know.
insecurites and inside jokes.
without you we are still so far away,
forgive us, friendship.
for we know not what we did.
