Dear friend, last night I got your text,
Where you wrote how, “I’m one of ya best”.
Well let me tell you first I appreciate that,
You took sometime out to say what you said.What I didn’t like is that you took a year,
To state something that should have been so obvious.
You could have told me this when we last met,
Or piggybacked it with your occasional “gn” messages.
Or left it unsaid, and I would have understood,
Because after all that’s what real friends do.But you had to choose Today from the calendar,
As if it was decided by some divine intervention.
So tell me what’s the difference between you and them,
Who send me the exact lines today that you just sent.
Or how do I differentiate myself from your other friends,
With whom you share wishes through mass messaging.Why didn’t you write all this, mate,
When the things in my life weren’t looking great.
When I desperately needed a confidant,
To express what was going in my mind.
When I even thought for a while to cut myself,
Only few were around when I needed some help.I realize you can’t take all of the blame,
Even my initiatives to forge our friendship have been lame.
But pal, understand that things haven’t been good off-late,
And sometimes I did try, but you didn’t reciprocate.
And let it be known here, that I am quite self-centered,
I only give that much in a relationship that I get back.I know in my heart, I’ve been a great friend,
To whoever that treated me more than an acquaintance.
But whenever I get cold shouldered, or treated like crap,
I throw them out of my life, in a finger’s snap.
And I pray to Dear God, it never comes to this,
But if I am forced to do that to you, I’ll be unapologetic.I know your intentions weren’t bad,
So I urge you, please don’t misunderstand.
Anyway, never mind, I got it, how I am your best,
Till next Friendship Day, thanks for your text.~RavS
