It's sad it had to end this way <br />I wonder if it's even real <br />They say no relationship dies a natural death <br />They can only get killed <br /> <br />It's sad we had to be this way <br />No meeting, no calling, no texting <br />I wonder why we ignore each other <br />Yet we are always missing <br /> <br />It's sad things turn out this way <br />From close friends to cold strangers <br />Our hearts whisper each other's names <br />But we lie to ourselves pretending not to hear <br /> <br />It's sad we have such ego <br />A hurting heart with a stubborn mind <br />I wait for you and you wait for me <br />We both stand behind our lines <br /> <br />It's sad we were once so close <br />I wonder why we remain this way <br />To be strangers with memories <br />It's sad I still miss you to this day <br /> <br />2013<br /><br />Fareez Nasir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/friendship-tragedy/
