Good-bye Old Friend

Some people chose to use hatred to get by
Others chose kindness and understanding
Why is it when I try to show a little kindness
You're there with hate with the back stabbing?

I tried to tell you that I have a better life now
I tried to tell you that I missed our friendship
But instead you treat me badly with rude words
And it's taking all I am to just to zip my lip

I want to throw back your words in your face
I want to hate you for what you did to me
I want to tell you that what you said hurts
But somehow I'm unable to, I can't even make you see

I miss the friendship we once had
I miss the laughter and the smiles we shared
I miss being able to talk to you
But now I know you never really cared

I have moved on with my life with no hatred
I wish that you could do the same
I wanted you to meet my love and my family
But apparently you don't want the same

I feel sorry for you my old friend
Because you'll never know what love is
But most of all I feel sorry that you have hatred
You're never gonna know what it is that you miss!

This poem is my good-bye to you
You see, I've grown into a better person now
So, you'll never hear from me ever again
This poem to you is all I'll ever allow...
