My Dearest, Dearest Friend Poem by Bradley Lester

Through the winding roads and cloudy skies you made your way to find me
Had you sensed my emptiness, had you sensed my loneliness, why did you seek to find me?
My thoughts of you were thoughts of excitement and nervousness as the time of day drew near
Was I being a fool I asked, or did I deserve a chance, we met, I saw, it all became clear

You made me laugh, you made me smile, you caused my nervousness to subside
Your bubbly voice, your radiant smile just brought about a warmth inside
A warmth that was once cold, like a burned our ember, dying in the rain
That was re-kindled with kindess and affection, you caused this to happen once again

Oh why did you leave me my friend? why did you have to go away?
Oh why so soon my friend? we had just met, I wanted you to stay
My silent tears kept me awake at night, thinking of you so far away in a foreign land
I cannot blame you my friend, even though I ached inside, just longing to hold your hand

Your plans were set, I knew that well, the day we said goodbye
You drove away, I turned back, my heart felt heavy, I was sad, this is no lie
I thought of you each minute that went by, did I forget to say things to you
Was I holding back on you, I wasnt sure, was I sure? , I know some things I just didnt do

Please forgive me my friend, for not opening up on that day, it was wrong of me
Or was it wrong of me, I'm not sure anymore, I think I try so hard just to be me
You took a piece of me with you, you know, I feel incomplete without it
When we are together again, I will feel whole, you'll bring that piece back with you

My friend so far, yet so close to my bosom, I can almost feel your heartbeat
As though I was pressing my body against yours, together lost in lust and bliss
Oh my friend, how I long for that day, to hold you so gentle, so close, so warm
Your embrace will smother me with lost love, oh my friend please come back
