You are...
If anything else,
I'd like you to know,
I'm glad everything changed,
and went with the flow.
Without all that's happened,
I would not be strong as I am today,
I feel as though I'm stronger,
in that way.
Every emotion was touched,
throughout the relationship we had,
I'm just starting to realize,
hey it wasn't that bad.
There was a lot of good,
and what wasn't is fine with me,
there's a reason for everything,
I know this to be.
I've been shown the closeness,
the distance,
and everything between,
I really do owe you a lot,
for so much all this did mean.
I was so into keeping things right,
that I couldn't see them wrong,
but it did get that way as things changed,
it has to after so long.
That's what killed me,
and put me to the curb,
because things were changing,
and it started to hurt.
Only because for the longest time,
you were the only girl I knew,
the only one I was close to,
that spot was held by you.
But still you held strong,
and handled everything with ease,
while I made my mistakes,
and fell to my knees.
I felt like I was losing you,
but even more so as a friend,
that was the most important thing to me,
I needed that... again.
In time I figured out,
that there was nothing left for me to do,
and if anything I'd make it worse,
so I decided to wait, for you.
That's what I did,
I waited practically a year,
while every thought of you,
shed another tear.
Slowly but surely,
the present became past,
which is where all memories of you,
continue to last.
It was the distance you see,
that made me stronger in the end,
and helped me get back again to where I am now,
as your friend.
