Bittersweet Friendship

Two hearts intertwining, but ripped at the seams.

Friends we promised to be, yet the lines start to blur,

Hiding my pain, but I can feel it stir.

We laughed under the light, shared secrets untold,

Your smile was a promise, but it's starting to fold.

You said true love would wait, but the truth's on the shelf,

And your words cut like daggers, as you talked about future of yourself.

It was all under stars, the nights warm and bright,

But you turned from the flame, into shadows of plight.

Now the distance is coming, like a thief in the dark,

You’re planning your future, while I’m caught on this spark.

Why does friendship come with a bittersweet sting?

When every glance feels like the end of a dream.

You spoke of tomorrow, with someone in stride,

And now I’m just standing, with tears I can’t hide.

You said, "Let’s be gradual," as if it’s so clear,

But with each faded word, it’s your heart that I fear.

I wanted forever, thought we’d make it through,

But your eyes drift away, into the future of someone new.

Oh, this silence is loud, a scream in the void,

The laughter feels heavy, the joy feels destroyed.

Oh, It’s friendship, how can you see?

It’s breaking me slowly, just to let you be free.

Why does friendship come with a bittersweet sting?

When every glance feels like the end of a dream.

You spoke of tomorrow, with someone in stride,

And now I’m just standing, with tears I can’t hide.

So here’s to the moments that we shared in the dawn,

To laughter that echoed, before the light’s gone.

I’ll cherish the memories, though they cut me deep,

But the promise of friendship? I don't know how to keep.

So I'll mask all my sorrow, and let the tears flow,

Wishing you love, though it cuts me, I know.

Your journey's begun, and I’ll learn to let go,

As I turn towards the door, this time I'm alone.
