Can I Be Your Best Friend Again Poem by Kristen Donovan Hutt

I thought that it was right
That your love for me was true and bright
But I guess I was wrong
And I feel like giving up, I’m not that strong

You said you felt different, not as before
You thought you loved me, but now you’re not sure
What did I do to lose you, now that you’re gone
All of a sudden, your love for me seemed to have withdrawn

Now that you’re gone, I can be myself again
I know I’ll be okay, I just don’t know when
As hard as I try, I can’t get you off my mind
I need time to look for a place to hide, and someday I’ll find

We started as best friends, it made sense, it fit like a glove
And then my worst fear came true, my feelings for you turned into love
You told me you loved me too, I was in heaven with you
I should have known better, I believed your love was true

Now we’re over, we don’t talk much anymore
How could this happen, our friendship isn’t as strong as before
Do you even want to be my friend
Or do you just want to forget about me, make it end?

If I know that we’re still friends, that everything is alright
Then I can work at getting on with my life, have more energy to fight
You have already told me it okay, but I don’t believe it
Something about the way you act when you say it just doesn’t seem to fit

I need to feel you beside me, pushing me forward
Celebrate with me when my feelings, I’ve finally conquered
I need you to be here for me, even if it’s just as a friend
I want to be your best friend again, no matter what’s around the bend
