You hold back ‘those’ specific words,
because you are terrified of rewinding the clock and hurting them again
You pretend you're okay,
for the sake of your best friend
who can’t stand to see you fall apart.
But inside, it’s a mess—
like a ticking bomb of emotions
just waiting to cause an explosion.
You repent the things you did in the past,
And you can’t change the future coz
the present feels like a mystery.
You miss them,
more than they probably realize,
and you still care about them so much.
But you try to keep a distance,
because you see them better off without you.
You wish you could tell them
that even though it couldn’t last,
the time shared together
gave you some of the best moments of your life.
But time hasn’t really healed anything;
it’s just taught us how to live
with this pain ..that never really goes away.

You're welcome
A painful experience that has taken control of one's life, something from the past that rules his life today. And yet, he is the one you paint as a victim., showing how all involved in such an affair are hurt or even destroyed. Maybe you could suggest he seek help. your poem leaves us feeling down and sorry. Powerful stuff. - Phil A.
What a sad but beautifully written poem! I felt like that when i lost a very important friendship!
