"You and I..."

You and I will always be apart of each other's presence,
Despite the distance and unspoken words.
Little day-to-day things will trigger memories,
As much as we try to put each other aside.
We had a special bond,
That grew over time with our friendship.
Two people who grew to care,
And things just seem to tear us apart.
No one really had the right to interfere between us,
But we both let our best friends get the best of things ---
And that is rather sad.
For as much as we might still care,
Unkind words and lack of trust has stepped in.
It took us awhile before we actually met,
But when we did, it was magical.
You and I will always have that night,
And our memories of the time we shared talking.

In my heart, I don't regret knowing you and our friendship.
I just hope that one day that you will think of me
Without the anger and hatred,
And know that I will always care about you.
