My friend
A phrase frequently ascribed however sometimes misspent
A praise of high
esteem when in sincerity said
Like the tale of King David, whom Jonathan so loved
True friendship emulates covenant and personal regard
My friend
I experienced much laughter and liberty with you
To crave such intimacy is something I have been known to do
Our friendship grew and I cherished moments spent with you
This is why I write this ode to you
My friend
We confused one another in the chaos of our emotions
Wallowing in misconceptions and unspoken truths
Each slowly withdrawing whilst pushing the other away
We didn’t know how to communicate
My friend
I lost my friend
My friend
I will always love youSarah Kenyi © 2014
