Dear Old Friend…
\nIts been awhile, isn\u2019t it?.
\n12 years passed and gone,
\nAnd you\u2019re too busy growing up
\nWhile I\u2019m too busy fixing myself up, again and again and again. <\/p>\n
Dear Old Friend…
\nI\u2019m sorry, That I turned insane,
\nAnd that left you confused, broken and alone.
\nThat left you wondering, until now.
\nThat left you wondering, why? or How?<\/p>\n
Dear Old Friend…
\nI\u2019m sorry, That I turned out to be this way,
\nAnd as a result, you were left to a friend that was not even a friend.
\nThat should be me, but I\u2019m sorry, I\u2019m not well.<\/p>\n
Dear Old Friend…
\nDespite it all, you accomplished so much.
\nAll the hurdles, the pain, all of it.
\nYou made it through without me,
\nI am so so proud of you, you are so strong. <\/p>\n
Dear Old Friend…
\nI hope you still remember me,
\nI am Janine, your childhood friend,
\nYour only best friend since birth,
\nMy only companion before I fall.<\/p>\n
We played lots of imaginary games,
\nWe played under the rain,
\nwe played mud dirts and sung songs that the radio don\u2019t recognized anymore.
\nWe are each others fun,
\nWe are each others run.<\/p>\n
I wish you well dear friend,
\nI wish your future turn out the way we imagine it.
\nThough I wish I\u2019m still with you right now,
\nLaughing and talking about our hopes.
\nBut then I\u2019m lost, and I\u2019m praying that you are not.<\/p>\n
I wish you happiness all through out,
\nI am here, always… despite the absence.
\n.
\n.
\n.
