Shay Poem by Justin Reamer

Ah, sweet girl,
Dearest, my friend,
And my long-forgotten memory,
How I remember how I loved you,
And yet I remember the tragedy,
For I am sorry that it happened,
And I regret our decisions.

Shay, I am sorry about what happened,
I must admit,
For we were two immature
High schoolers,
Not knowing how to react.
I remember being infatuated with you,
And yes, you are beautiful,
And always will be,
But I am sorry that it had
To happen this way.

Dearest Shay,
I am sorry
That I upset you,
In whatever way I did,
Whether it be something stupid
Like Facebook,
Or something
Dumb like my emotions,
But let me tell you that
I never stalked you,
Nor crept on you,
Nor even had any intentions
On hurting you,
And yet,
As stupid high schoolers,
I understand that it
Was all blown out of proportion,
And I am sorry for that,
And I hope you can forgive me.

And, my friend,
My sweet, sweet friend,
I forgive you for everything you've done,
Including turning my friends on me,
Saying atrocious things behind my back,
Using me whenever you felt like it,
Using my friends against me,
And hurting everyone who
Was my friend
That was not yours.
I forgive you for all
The wrongs you did.

And, yet,
I am sorry for
The adversity we shared,
For I did not mean to scare you,
For I only wanted to be your friend,
And only wanted to talk to you,
Because I thought you were a very cool girl,
And I am sorry that our friendship
Did not work out,
And that any chance for a relationship
Did not work out, as well,
Either.
I am sorry we could not be friends.

Yet, I must tell you,
That I do not have any feelings anymore,
And have not had emotions for you
For three years now,
Even though you were misinformed,
For I felt that,
Even though there was a major episode,
There was no need for us to have that
Kind of a relationship
And realised it could not be humanly
Possible at all.
I must say that I still forgive you
For everything you have done,
And that I apologise for everything
I have done to you,
If I upset you in any way.

Shay, I must tell you
That you are a beautiful woman,
And that you have the whole world ahead
Of you,
And, since we have recently graduated,
I must say that maybe we can live in peace,
And not have any tension anymore.

I wish you the best of luck in college,
My dear friend,
For you have a great future ahead of you,
Especially with your full-ride and everything,
So I hope you become successful,
And I hope you do well in life.

So, good luck to you, my dear,
And I hope you live in peace,
And let us not dwell on the past,
And if we should ever meet again,
Let us be happy this time around,
And forget the childish adversity
We had nearly three years ago.

So, good luck to you,
And may you do well in life,
And if you should happen to be an actress,
I will attend your shows,
And I will root you on.
Good luck,
And may God bless you,
My dear sweet Shay,
For He will grant you
The best future possible.
