My old friend

I’ve missed you,

My old friend.

I know it’s been long

Forgive me.

You see I’ve

Been avoiding pain,

Avoiding truths,

And any absolutes.

I’ve been scared,

I’ve been alone.

I’ve missed you,

My old friend.

My sounding board,

My sanity.

My creativity,

My doubts.

My fears transcended

On paper and pen.

My dear old friend,

I swear I will never

Do this again.
