I Once Had a Friend (Original) MyFreeCopyright.com Registered & Protected

I once had a friend.
Caring and loving she was;
A sunflower, full of life.
Her smile, a blooming joy.

Our differences set us apart.
Who knew little was shared,
The trust we had
Slowly faded away.

Could it be that the trust
Never existed at all?
Or was it that you
Slowly held on to your beliefs.

Having you around was interesting.
Because even with such relevance,
There was lost words in transition.
We set sail in different directions.

Your petals slowly changed colors.
The stem, reluctant it became.
You slowly closed your petals,
To cover your flaws.

In a world with several billions,
The zeros in such a number
Clearly marks my position
Because I never existed at all.
