The End

A poem about friendship and the fear of losing someone you love. But not losing them to death or betrayal. Losing them to yourself. To your incapability of believing that someone would actually want to stay by your side, forever. Not just because you are convenient and the only person around, but because they genuinely care about you. When you do not know how to love your own mind and body, it is hard to accept that somebody else might.

The time is coming to an end

But is it really over?

Maybe it is just a see you again

Or is this all I will ever know about her?

When the last second runs out

Will you look one last time at me?

Or will you turn away and forget all about

What we used to be?

I asked her this, she just laughed, shook her head

Never in my life will I forget, she said

You, this friendship, the way it changed my life

Never in my life will I forget, she said, I swear on my father’s wife

I almost believed her, I really tried

But how could someone ever want to stand by my side

She will regret her words, I know

They all do, they all leave, they always go
