you were always
my friend
my patient
companion
didn’t you
feed my hunger?
didn’t you
nurse my fever?
indulge my
childish schemes?
haven’t you
always stood by me
no matter
what I’d done?
if I ever
seemed ungrateful
I’m sorry
for it
I’m sorry I
lost myself
I think I
thought
I was
someone else
someone less
deserving
of your
unconditional love
I just
wanted you to know
I treasure that
sentiment
more than I
cherish life itself
