He dragged me with him all the way, <br />and held my hand meticulously to make me stay, <br />and to appear like he has forgotten that he will never be alone, <br />but I knew that my place was his house, and his my home. <br /> <br />So much similar, like almost same, <br />with the difference of just a name, <br />we played soccer in the alleys as we grew, <br />the matches we won were less than a few. <br /> <br />Nevertheless, we never played for victory, <br />for the victories were so queer in our history, <br />since we helped each other, in sorrow, in pain, <br />like we wanted to be like this, in havoc or in gain. <br /> <br />But the life wreaked havoc, I cried and paid, <br />the price of my chum, but the decision was made, <br />you will have to leave, sooner or late, <br />so tell your sidekick how much you love him, before he gets checkmate.<br /><br />teal sky<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-friend-i-should-have-said/
