My Friend

I held you once,
and you held me.
But my world was in turmoil,
and I began to push you away.
I inflicted all my pain on you,
and still you were there.
Finally, I pushed too hard,
and you let go.
Now time has gone by and healed our scars
I see you from time to time.
But now, it's you who pushes me away,
and I who won't let go.
Soon you give up.
You stop pushing me away,
and begin to pull me close.
I know to expect nothing,
but I still find myself wishing.
Now time keeps passing us by,
and our wounds keep healing,
and we've given up on pushing.
And, for now, I've found one true friend.
