Missing You

 

She introduced me to the pleasure of friendship,

She made me realise the pain of love.

She saw how much I hurt, what her aching had made me become.

A quivering wreck, an emotional fool!

My heart no longer still, in time with the savages drum.

The taste, tantalising and slow

Regret that I never once told her what she meant to me.

All those years from childhood to near death

And she said, “That this moment was for me, my reward.”

For friendship will prevail, it’s all that’s left.
