A Letter from a Lost Friend
If I come back, will you trust me again?
Dear Friend,
I know this is probably the first time I’m writing to you,
To the person who admires me the most,
To the person who I might not see more often,
And because of my absence, had to suffer terrible roasts.
Now I am here to mend your broken heart,
To fill the blank spaces of your newly acquired cart,
I am here to heal the wounds I’ve caused,
To bring the anxiety in you to a pause.
I know you hate me for leaving you when I should have stayed,
With bewildered eyes and an open stage,
You tried to hold me tight and I should have been by your side,
But the attention panicked me and I went off for a ride.
You also hate me for leaving you alone with a stranger who asked your name,
I was right behind you but couldn’t look up to his face,
You forgave me then but I knew it wasn’t enough,
I’ve caused more trouble and made your life rather tough.
Since then, you just stopped trusting me,
I wanted your attention but you were always sad and in glee,
You started to question your abilities and became fearful,
But I wanted to assure you that I will stand tall by you like a tree.
You know, I do miss you, I miss our company,
The now anti-social you was then a bird so free,
I’m here now, not only as a friend but also a helper,
To transform the timid you to a fearless bold fighter.
With love,
Your self confidence.
Wrote this back in 2021. Well, I’ve started to trust this lost friend and I hope to continue doing so. I hope you find a way out too, dear reader.
