Friendship and Heartbreak

A friend once walked beside my soul, Helping heal what wasn't whole. With every laugh and every tear, They chased away my every fear. But hearts can change like autumn skies, Leaving truth wrapped up in lies. The silence grew where joy had been, A lonely space stretched deep within. Heartbreak taught what time makes clear: Not every hand will stay so near. Yet every memory, bright or dim, Becomes a quiet, lasting hymn. For friendship, true, will never fade— It's built on love, not promises made. And though some paths must drift apart, Kindness leaves its mark upon the heart. So I'll remember, not with pain, But hope that blooms like spring again. For every ending helps us see The friends we're still meant yet to meet.
