Tag: farewell

I know you will never read this.
I know you can’t but I need to write it down.
I kept thinking about picking up the phone.
To send a quick text.
A funny picture of the dog.
But I didn’t.

I kept thinking about trying to before the move.
I wanted to have one more, not last, match.
To organise a meet up for a games day.
To share a thought and a beer.
A catch up about life.
But I didn’t.

I wanted to remember the birthday card.
A birthday card for your son.
I did laugh at the shared pictures.
To meant double click a like or two.
I wanted to keep the friendship there.
But I didn’t.

Now I hear that you will never read this.
I can’t think to plan to roll the dice together.
There won’t be a day to share a beer.
There is no one to text a thought.
A friend has gone who I can’t share my oddness with.
I’m sorry I didn’t try.

So today I need to try to those I still can.
I need to not get distracted by silly things.
There are still games to play.
There are still birthdays to remember.
There are still friends who I have not failed.
Because I need to try.
