Where do you live

Beyond the fiery paths that lay before you?

Why do you pile the hatred

That blows me uncontrollably insane?

Can you not recognize

The love I feel for you in so many ways

That the essence and power of friendship

Means nothing to your unwilling mind set?

Does a mistake shape the way you look at people?

Does my life bother your burning mind?

I am but a lost soul looking for my place in life.

Although making the mistakes that others made;

I’ll never settle for perfection.

We will never be perfection.

Give me my time to stretch and survive this

The power that no one can hold

I am no one greater or lesser than anyone else

But the human that I have been born to be.

Friends forever I hope that we have become

Missing you day in and day out

For the one thing that I chose to put aside for a moment

A moment that will be forever to you

Cherish the times we spent together

For when another day arrives

Where we may see each other again

May be the day

We may never express the feelings we once had

Because the hatred will never seize.

I ask you to not like me

I ask you to not hate me

I ask you to not forget me

As my mind, heart and soul

Has never forgotten you.

Author's Note: To someone who was always there for someone else. To that someone that truely cared. Although this poem may not make complete sense, it's what I want to get through to that person that I miss him for not only the person he has been to that other someone but the great person he will truely become in the future. You have a great gift A.L. Don't let it get away from you. My life was more unfortunate that it had to lead this way. Remember who loves you and who you love. Maybe one day we will pass by each other one more time. Maybe we will talk one more time. Someday, hopefully everything will be made up to you that has been done and everyone will move on to something so much more pleasant than the past. I'm sorry that you were hurt by a friend who has been through hell in a different way. May this be my message to you that you will always be in my heart, mind and soul forever because you were truely a great person that I have ever met.
