Our friendship
Had no limitation, no conditionality
I used to be
Your main priority
A cause to cease all activity
A perfect match in compatibility
We were bound together
By our love for uncanny eccentricities
And hatred for stifling egocentricity
You were the epitome of simplicity
I was humbled by your generosity
Amused by your comicality
Pleased by your positivity
Respected your rationality
Now
You’re caught up
In your own big life
New friends
New things to try
I’ve fallen to the back of your mind
I’m just a number
A blurry face in your dream
Unsettling your slumber

But the question remains, ” Why indeed do friends lose their passion and need for each other?”
Is it because their emotional needs change over time? Is it because they develop compulsions which complicate the simplicity needed for friendship? Is it because folks try to be all things to all people?
Loved your verse…

I find it physically impossible to forget coffee. Really.
And if you’re using the word “forget” for your friend, maybe you don’t know him well enough, y’know, because life only gets big to tangle you up in its mess.
Just sayin’.
Good writing, though.

Well written, and, it hurts, when they get big headed or just forget about you.x

Nice poem. Sad we grow apart from our parents and vice versa. But I guess it is part of trying to spread the wings and not sure they like it when we fly a different way.
Sanah said:
Thank you. When it comes to my parents they’d be heartbroken to see me leave but at the same time would want me to be independent. Anyway it’s always hard to say goodbye. :)
