I Haven't Forgotten

There was a time when I'd never let you go,
but those days are so long past.
Two years removed, but I want you to know,
I didn't think a friendship would last.
I hurt you so badly, I spit in your face.
I chased after girls in which you consoled.
But what you never realized that hidden in my haste
was a rage toward myself that was taking its hold.
I destroyed myself, while you found another.
I never thought I could feel so dead.
But I healed myself and worked to recover
the love I had squandered when I lost my head.
I never succeeded, and I moved on
and damaged my self more than the first time.
I swore i would win you, a new self would dawn.
But failure again was the tune of my rhyme.
Now we're both happy, loving the best we have known,
and our friendship still lives.
I promised not to leave you alone
while I have breath to give.


I will make good on that.
I haven't forgotten.
